A scenario that includes a series of measurements, taken over time, of the emissions and concentrations of greenhouse gases, aerosols and chemically active gases, as well as of land use and land cover. 3, record 1, English, - representative%20concentration%20pathway
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The word representative signifies that each RCP [representative concentration pathway] provides only one of many possible scenarios that would lead to the specific radiative forcing characteristics. The term pathway emphasises that not only the long-term concentration levels are of interest, but also the trajectory taken over time to reach that outcome … 4, record 1, English, - representative%20concentration%20pathway

Ces profils sont représentatifs dans la mesure où ils font partie d'un ensemble de scénarios distincts possibles conduisant à un forçage radiatif aux caractéristiques similaires. On parle de profil d'évolution pour souligner le fait qu'on ne s'intéresse pas seulement aux niveaux de concentration atteints à long terme, mais aussi à la trajectoire suivie pour parvenir à ce résultat. 8, record 1, French, - profil%20repr%C3%A9sentatif%20d%27%C3%A9volution%20de%20concentration

L'abréviation «RCP» provient du terme anglais «representative concentration pathway». Lorsqu'elle est associée au terme «trajectoire de concentration représentative», elle prend le genre féminin. 9, record 1, French, - profil%20repr%C3%A9sentatif%20d%27%C3%A9volution%20de%20concentration
