History of SWIM / JCM
A brief reverse-timeline of the model development:
(which helps explain relative age of modules)- 2022 - see archive of recent SWIM updates
- presented to conferences - Scenarios Forum Jun 22, IAMC Dec 21
- 2021 - since may - conversion to new language Scala3, develop scala.js web GUI
- 2018 (paused - as java-ws removed from browsers, so model no longer accessible )
- 2017 add economy module - explore socioeconomic drivers without scenarios
- 2016 (Godinne -> present)
probabalistic regional pathways <1.5 / 1.75C
+ added demographics, migration, SSP chooser modules
+ update core datasets, and Paris pledges - 2011 (Rio Brazil)
energy module with investments (only electricity complete)
+ probabalistic regional pathways <2C,
+ equity driven pathways (Swiss project) following Cancun pledges - 2010 contribution EU 2C analyses
- 2009 (?) consideration new scenario framework
- 2008 Aviation emissions and forcing, update core to AR4
- 2007 Responsibility (attribution analysis - MATCH)
+ complete transition to "JCM5" - 2006 Land Use Change module (with C.PdeCampos)
- 2005 start transition to "JCM5" (java5) incl java-webstart GUI with flexible layouts, tree, parallel worlds, wiki, scripts
- 2004 economic cost- optimisation and risk analysis
- 2002-3 (Louvain la Neuve -> until 2010)
educational versions, testing with students
+ first probabalistic stabilisation analyses <2C - scripts
+ analysis "shifting the burden of uncertainty" (compare stabilise emit/conc/forcing/temperature/sea-level) - 2002 (Bern Swiss) f-gases, other gases, aerosols - carbon/chem/forcing consistent IPCC, iterative stabilisation
- 2001 (Arendal Norway) better interface, documentation, translations, scenarios
- 2000-1 (Copenhagen) better carbon and climate models (based IPCC), expo-model, sea-level
- 2000 (Norwich) first java applet model based on C&C
- 1995-6 (Norwich) develop policy framework "contraction and convergence" - javascript model
