The enhanced capabilities of IMAGE 2.2 were demonstrated in the contribution to the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios ([[IMAGE-team, 2001]]). The earlier zonal-mean climate-ocean model was replaced by a combination of the [[MAGICC  model|MAGICC]] climate model and the Bern ocean model. The resulting global average temperature and precipitation changes were scaled using temperature and precipitation patterns generated by complex Global Circulation Models ({{abbrTemlate|GCM}}s) to provide spatially explicit climate impacts and feedback. For economy and energy, the EIS of version 2.0 was replaced with the TIMER energy model, which also improved linkage with the macroeconomic model Worldscan.
