SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SCALES Sample Clauses

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SCALES. While the general data situation for the present and recent past is quite positive, especially due to European harmonization efforts, coherent data for future data sets is more difficult to find. Indeed, it is already difficult to find a consensus on the terms long-, medium- and short-term. In some projects short-term is 2015 while in others it is 2030, a time horizon that some projects would consider long-term. There was no way to find coherent data for the dates required in the DOW 2030, 2050, 2070 and 2100. Global scenarios often extend 100 years into the future, but regional and national data rarely ever go beyond 2050/2060 (except for population projections). In terms of the spatial coverage in the global scenarios, the extent always depends on the data availability in different countries and the capacity of international institutions to collect and prepare comprehensive data. EUROSTAT in cooperation with the OECD has succeeded in harmonizing many data sets for all EU countries, EFTA states and EU candidate countries. The number of current EU member countries that were included in each scenario exercise was dependent on when the project was running and the number of Member States at that time. Many EU projects working with scenarios also conducted downscaling exercises with the result that local and regional case studies are available for some regions and methods, though not yet refined, exist to downscale coarse data for regions of one’s own choice in order to assess aspects that require high resolutions (e.g. infrastructure land use and small settlement areas). The harmonization process on the European level facilitates data collection for the most part. Cooperation with the Member States in preparing the data – for example the XXXXXX land use data – lead to harmonized data in many sectors and on different scales (cf. NUTS regions). The more refined the scale the more difficult it was to find comprehensive and complete data. Spatial Scale Time horizon Global Energy Assessment (ongoing) global N.A.
