U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program: Activities/Challenges Climate Change Science Program (NACP and OCB) – carbon cycle science evolution and progress “report” (Building Blocks activity) –Carbon Cycle Science Working Group efforts in evolving U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan Synthesis activities progress – mid-continent, coastal, site, non-CO 2 greenhouse gas, plus future synthesis activity (synthesis of synthesis) High latitude priority (FY09-11)

Carbon Cycle Science Program – Evolution Building Blocks: 1.Goals- continuing, emerging scientific and societal opportunities, challenges, questions (10-year) + limited set of specific and/or nearer term goals (3-year) 2.Enabling Contributions and Collaborations - Research, science, technology needs + key activities within the community that support achieving goals + requirements for coordination/collaboration w/other communities within/outside CCSP 3.Pathways and Options- evolution of existing program objectives, structure (suggested alternative program objectives, frameworks, configurations) + role(s) of Principals, IWGs, agencies, coordination office + resource considerations (new or reprogrammed resources)

Carbon Cycle Science Working Group July CCSP Principals produce Building Block Tasking (revised Dec 2008) IWG responds by drafting charter for CCSWG/planning revisit of US CCS Plan Mission - to develop the next U.S. carbon cycle science plan –Identify challenges and priorities for the next decade (~ ) –Involve broader research community in formulation and implementation Recommendations go to agency managers who set carbon cycle science priorities for the next decade, and sponsor most of the carbon research in the U.S. Summer 2008 – Charter approved by CCIWG, co-leads identified and enlisted: Anna Michelak (University of Michigan), Chris Sabine (NOAA-PMEL), Rob Jackson (Duke University), Greg Marland (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Fall total members invited/finalized months or until the activity is completed – additional meetings planned Comments/Updates:

Carbon Cycle Science Working Group Fundamental Science Questions 1999 U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan: What has happened to the carbon dioxide that has already been emitted by human activities (past anthropogenic CO 2 )? What will be the future atmospheric CO 2 concentration trajectory resulting from both past and future emissions? Preliminary version for new Plan: What processes and feedbacks control the dynamics of atmospheric CO 2 and CH 4 ? What are the impacts of the changing carbon cycle (and associated changes in climate) on ecosystems? How will carbon stocks and fluxes respond to policy and carbon management strategies? Comments / Updates:

Rationale for Research in Southeast Asia: The aerosol- cloud observability problem SE Asia has strong gradients in air pollution. But, persistent cirrus, low level clouds coupled with shallow water make SE Asia one of the most difficult places on the planet to model or utilize satellite data What is the nature of air pollution and smoke on broad environmental, meteorological, and climate impacts? Very co-linear with ACE and GeoCAPE aerosol objectives

Global Air Pollution Satellite Studies: Little SE ASIA involvement SE Asia has never had a large cal/val efforts of satellite measurements of atmospheric composition. SE Asia is an excellent location for developing aerosol and ocean retrieval methods such as are necessary for ACE and GEOCAPE Major Composition Satellite Development or Cal/Val Mission ?

Seven South East Asian Studies (7 SEAS) Original Goal: Isolate the impacts of aerosol particles on weather and the environment In order to do this, we need input from seven research areas: Tropical and subtropical meteorology including air-sea and land interaction Clouds and precipitation Radiative transfer Biomass burning and pollution Natural aerosol chemistry Satellite and model calibration/validation Seasonal forecasting and climate Taiwan Vietnam Thailand Malaysia Singapore Indonesia Philippines

7 SEAS: Do we need a bigger tent? Interacting with regional scientists revealed a need for an overarching aerosol mission. Many feedbacks between ocean, land and atmospheric processes. In some cases capacity building may need to come before science. New South East Asian Studies. Atmospheric chemistry (aerosol particles and gas) Radiation Clouds and precipitation Land processes and fire Oceanography (physical and biological) Observability and satellite/model cal&val Short term to climate prediction

Ocean Collaboration Some Key Research Issues: –Product validation –Joint Ocean-Atmosphere retrievals –Air Sea Fluxes –Acid deposition/coastal acidification Activities –Regional network of AERONET sites. –Potential for Taiwanese R/V deployment in 2010/2011. –Ride along on UNOLS vessels of opportunity starting in late –Small boat availability in coastal Philippines.
