Presentation Transcript

  1. North American Carbon Program Site-level Interim Synthesis Model Data Comparison (NACP Site MDC)

  2. NACP Site MDC “Are the various measurement and modeling estimates of carbon fluxes consistent with each other - and if not, why?” • Simulated vs. observed flux at ~30 flux towers • Other obs: biomass, soil temp, snow depth, etc. • Quantify biases & uncertainty (models & data) • All modelers invited

  3. Background • NACP Interim Synthesis Activities • Site MDC • Regional and continental • Mid-Continent Intensive • Site MDC Organizer: Peter Thornton (NCAR) • Kevin Schaefer (NSIDC) • Ken Davis (Penn. State) • Bob Cook (ORNL) • http://nacp.ornl.gov/mast-dc/

  4. Protocol based on LBA MIP • ALMA compliant, netcdf input/output • Gap-filled weather and GIMMSg NDVI • Tower PIs quantify flux uncertainty • Fair Use Policy • Infrastructure: web & FTP sites, email servers http://nacp.ornl.gov/mast-dc/

  5. Schedule • July 15, 2008: • Finalize site list • Driver data, site info, phenology • September 1, 2008: submit model runs • October 2008: workshop • February 2009: NACP All scientist meeting

  6. AmeriFlux & Fluxnet-Canada Sites
