Abstract
The objective of ASCENT Project 21 is to facilitate continued development of climate policy analysis tools that will enable impact assessments for different policy scenarios at the global, zonal, and regional scales and will enable FAA to address its strategic vision on sustainable aviation growth. Following this overall objective, the particular objectives of ASCENT 21 are (1) to investigate climate response due to aviation emissions; (2) to continue the development of a reduced-order climate model for policy analysis consistent with the latest scientific understanding; and (3) to support FAA analyses of national and global policies as they relate to long-term atmospheric and environmental impacts. During this project, these objectives were addressed through several tasks, which cover (i) the investigation of aviation’s climate impacts using high-resolution physics models; (ii) the continued development of a reduced-order model for aviation’s climate impacts, emulating high-resolution climate models; (iii) development of metrics for rapid assessment of aviation’s climate and air quality impacts; and (iv) policy support and knowledge transfer.
