    http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2008-060
    Notes
    Development of a new advanced model to better estimate how climate change may affect ecosystems
    
    
    
22. California AUAV Air Pollution Profiling Study. Prof. Ramanathan and Corrigan.
    PIER: Ongoing
    Notes
    Preliminary study to determine the effect of black carbon on the atmospheric budget in California.
    
    
    
23. California Climate Archive. Kelly Redmond and Dan Cayan.
    PIER: 2008

24. California Energy Balances Phase II. .
    PIER: Ongoing
    Notes
    Ongoing research to update and improve the California Energy Balance (CALEB) database which provides reliable and concise energy statistics for energy policy analysis and forecasting. Report pending.
    
    
    
25. California Energy Commission Public Interest Energy Research Climate Change Program Brochure. Guido Franco.
    PIER: 2009
    http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2009-092
    Notes
    Brochure describing the PIER Climate Change sub-program
    
    
    
26. California Environmental Sensing and Communications . Dan Cayan.
    PIER: 2005
    http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2005-050
    Notes
    This study seeks to monitor the environment in the complex topography over the California region, which requires a denser network of meteorological and hydrological stations than is currently operating.
    
    
    
27. California GHG Targets and CHP Incentives . .
    PIER: Ongoing
    
    
28. California in Context: Long-Term Scenarios of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy . Steve Smith et al..
    PIER: 2007
    http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2007-052
    Notes
    To investigate the technologies that would be needed to significantly reduce GHG emissions at the national and international scales and to investigate the role of energy efficiency and renewables in California using a national model with a limited representation of California
    
    
    
29. California rain and snow measurements in SUPRECIP-2. Odelle Hadley and Prof. Ramanathan.
    PIER: 2008
    http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2008-029
    Notes
    Measured the amount of black carbon (BC) in rain and snow to estimate the potential effect of BC on the reflectivity of snow. A darker snow melts sooner and faster confounding the climate change signal

    PIER: Ongoing
    Notes
    Ongoing research to create an integrated modeling framework to analyze and compare options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California. Report pending.
