Computer models implement the components (conceptual models) of IMAGE framework.
Computer models are classified in: core, associated, related and other used external models/data sources.
- Core IMAGE models are used for the integrated assessments projects and developed by the IMAGE team or in close collaboration with partners.
- Associated models use the results of the core models to compute various impacts. These models are developed in consultation with the IMAGE team
- Related models are not part of the IMAGE framework, but may be used in the framework, depending on the type of project. They are not developed by the IMAGE team.
- External models/data sources are used for data only.
