1.To provide higher spatial resolution of the global carbon balance with the aim to improve attribution to processes and hot-spots regions essential to understand the future evolution of the carbon- climate feedback. 2.To address a growing demand for a capacity to Measure, Report, and Verify (MRV) the evolution of regional fluxes and the outcomes of climate mitigation policies. Why Regional Carbon Budgets?

Why Regional Carbon Budgets?

To establish the mean carbon balance of large regions of the globe at the scale of continents and large ocean basins, including their component fluxes. To do it by comparing and reconciling multiple bottom-up estimates with the results of regional top-down atmospheric inversions, with attribution to main flux components. To evaluate the regional ‘hot-spots’ of interannual variability and possibly the trends and underlying processes over the past two (or more) decades by combining available long-term observations and modeling. REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP)

Reconciliation of flux estimates (independently assessed and often partially overlapping) as a means to build confidence in our understanding of the component fluxes, mean estimates, and inter-annual variability. Although we are ultimately interested in building a mathematically-formalized multiple constraint approach, model data fusion or data assimilation (eg, like in weather and hydrological forecast), we are not pursuing this approach in a first phase. Uncertainties need to be quantitatively estimated. Synthesis Approach Top-down Bottom-up
