NEW NERC PROJECT International Collaboration on Data Assimilation in Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Science Exchange between scientific staff for three months from key institutions (CSIRO, MPI, LSCE, CSU, MBL; in the UK, CTCD and DARC are joint leaders on this project, but we will also be looking at the needs and opportunities for QUEST, ECMWF, CLASSIC and CEH). International conference Six international workshops
CFusion Working Groups • REFLEX – DA comparison experiment • OCO and GOSAT • Mathematical structures underlying DA • Fire
Structure of Carbon Theme Ocean surface observations Atmospheric observations of CO2 and CH4 Land surface observations Data assimilation Land surface flux model Model parameters Atmospheric chemistry-transport model Ocean surface Flux model Model parameters Surface fluxes Surface fluxes
C Cycle Sub-themes • Using atmospheric measurements of CO2 and CH4to learn about surface fluxes and their causes. • Model-data fusion for land C fluxes using surface observations • Carbon fluxes from biomass burning • Ground-based methods: data, parameters, process descriptions and EO fundamentals. • Understanding the tropical carbon balance of the land surface. • Quantification of sea surface processes • Quantification of ocean biogeochemistry and carbon fluxes • Quantification of bio-physical interactions and air-sea CO2 fluxes • Data assimilation techniques for marine ecosystem models. • Reanalysis, validation and prediction of marine carbon estimates

Funding Total funds = £40.7M over 6 years. Total funding for C cycle theme: £4.6M.
NERC International Opportunities Fund Key question: in what areas would the NERC science base most benefit from exposure to international know-how and collaboration? → International Collaboration on Data Assimilation in Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Science (CFusion) • Meetings • Workshops • Staff secondment • Reports
