Region definitions
By default, MIMOSA uses the 26 IMAGE regions. More information about this regional definition is available on the IMAGE website.
The model region definition is named by the regionstype setting,
while regions contains the region codes included in a run. The
configuration schema also recognises SSP5 and World definitions. Using a different definition
requires matching time-dependent input data and, where necessary, a registered mapping for regional
parameters. See Regional parameters for details.
The map and table below describe the default IMAGE26 regions. Hover over the map to see a region's name:
