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).

PI/CMS Biomass Studies Intercomparison Activities Cook: Improving forest biomass mapping accuracy with optical-LIDAR data and hierarchical Bayesian spatial models  Local scale cross validation Dubayah: High Resolution Carbon Monitoring and Modeling: A CMS Phase 2 Study  Comparison to national scale maps (NBCD, FIA, CMS P1)  Comparisons between lidar and FIA biomass maps and ED modeled biomass at local scale Healey: A global forest biomass inventory based upon GLAS lidar data  Estimates can be compared with field-based estimates in countries with an established national forest inventory Houghton: Spatially explicit sources and sinks of carbon from deforestation, reforestation, growth and degradation in the tropics: Development of a method and a 10-year data set  Previous estimates of tropical emissions from land use and land-cover change Kasischke: The Forest Disturbance Carbon Tracking System A CMS Phase 2 Study  Intercomparison of carbon consumed during fires will be carried out between different modeling approaches and fire emissions database Kennedy: Integrating and Expanding a Regional Carbon Monitoring System into the NASA CMS  Comparison to national scale maps (NBCD, FIA, CMS P1)  Comparison at select sites to lidar-based estimates Saatchi: Prototyping MRV Systems Based on Systematic and Spatial Estimates of Carbon Stock and Stock Changes of Forestlands  Comparison to national scale maps (NBCD, FIA)

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.
