For the spatial distribution of climate change, most models agree that the changes will be largest at higher latitudes. However, there is a large degree of uncertainty for changes in precipitation, with models even disagreeing on what would be a sign of change in many regions ([[Meehl et al., 2007]]). This uncertainty in the spatial patterns of climate change can be taken into account by applying pattern scaling for temperature and precipitation based on a range of AOGCMs in IMAGE.

In addition to CO<sub>2</sub>concentrations and climate change, atmospheric composition is relevant in some IMAGE components. Air pollutants are used to calculate the effect on human health (Component Human development). The effect of ozone on crop yields has been explored but is not yet part of the standard model set-up ([[Chuwah et al., submitted]]).
