This modelling structure (called IMOGEN) captures the main features of the changes in surface climate as estimated by a GCM with enhanced atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Advantage is taken of IMOGEN's computational speed which allows multiple simulations to be carried out to assess the robustness of the GCM results. The timing of forest dieback is found to be sensitive to the initial %@language English %@copyholder SID/SCD %@e-mailaddress fabia@cptec.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %@area MET %@group DMD-INPE-MCT-BR %@affiliation CPTEC-INPE-Cachoeira Paulista-12630-000-SP-Brasil
