MsTMIP - Goals Extension of the NACP Interim Synthesis Activities Provide feedback to the TBM community in order to improve diagnosis and attribution of carbon fluxes at regional and global scales Evaluate TBMs by direct comparison with observations – Model-observation comparison of NEE and component fluxes; – Model-observation comparison of carbon stocks; – Comparison of transported TBM fluxes to atmospheric CO 2 concentration measurements; and – TBM model-model comparison of NEE and component flux estimates.
MsTMIP – Where are we? Simulation protocol has been developed (on website) Environmental driver data is processed and ready to go. Reference output subroutine library developed. Ready to start simulations
Timeline for Fall / Winter Spin – up for baseline simulations complete by October, 2011 Workshop in October, 2011 All simulations complete by January, 2012 Collect and process observational datasets (August through December, 2011) Model evaluation metrics develop by January, Working meeting at Fall AGU in December 2011.
