Charge • Document the range of intercomparison activities within each of the primary domains (biomass, flux, oceans). • Identify key gaps where further intercomparison efforts are warranted. • Document effective strategies for intercomparison activities.
Approach • Solicit CMS team input to survey question about intercomparison efforts. • Discussion among Working Group members to document “best-practices” for intercomparison activities.
Results • Documentation of current and anticipated intercomparison efforts by primary domain (Biomass, Flux, Oceans).
Results • Emerging discussion about effective strategies for intercomparisons. • Differences due to data, methods, scale, etc...
Next Steps • Incorporate new Phase II projects into documentation. • Continue to seek project- and domain-level input to finalize documentation. • Continue domain-level discussions on effective strategies for intercomparison activities, especially Flux and Oceans.
