Lessons 1 1.Land cover matters. 2.‘Subjective’ land cover may be more useful than ‘objective’ land cover. 3.Scale matters. 4.Can we do this better?

Impact on Carbon Calculations Picard et al.,GCB, day advance: NPP increases by 10.1 gCm -2 yr days advance: 38% bias in annual NPP Observations Phenology model Dynamic Vegetation Model Carbon Calculation

Model needs to be region specific, here include chilling requirement ? Comparison Model-EO: RMSE

Lessons 2 1.A simple 2-parameter spring warming model gives a good fit between model and EO data 2.RMS differences between model, VGT data and ground data are ~6.5 days. 3.Ground data are crucial in investigating bias. 4.Model failures are identifiable. 5.Noise errors in NPP estimates are ~8%. Bias effects are ~2.2% per day. 6.Biophysical content of the parameters is low.

SWE estimated from SSM/I data over Siberia

CTCD: Comparison model and EO (& IIASA snow map) SDGVM using ECMWF Snow Water Equivalent (mm) 01/97 SSM/I IIASA maximum snow storage

Lessons 3 1.The physical quantity inferred from the EO data is almost certainly not what it is called. 2.The problem here is making the model and the EO data communicate. Until communication is established, the data cannot be used to test or calibrate the model.

Severity of disagreement – AVHRR/SDGVM r > OR r.m.s.e < 0.2 r 0.2 r

Severity of disagreement – example Mid Europe

Severity of disagreement – example SW China

Lessons 5 1.The DVM as currently formulated only supports a simple observation operator. This allows meaningful estimates of time series of observables; absolute values of the observables are of dubious value. 2.These time series permit the model to be interrogated with satellite data, and model failures to be identified.

Detecting incorrect land cover Pearson’s product moment Crop class incorrectly set Crop class correctly set Temporal correlation

Final remarks  The link between satellite measurements and most surface parameters used by the C models (and how they are represented) is indirect.  In many cases, the only viable source of information on surface properties is from satellites.  The art is to find the right means of communication between the data and the models.

Environmental effects on coherence Measurements by radar satellites are sensitive to biomass, but: only for younger ages weather dependent through soil and canopy moisture Coherence of Kielder Forest, July 1995

Age Estimation Accuracy  Small Spatial Scale – Inter-stand variance – Inter stand bias Kielder Forest Time Raw Coherence  Large Scale – Meteorology dominant North South Kielder Forest

Using SPA to model coherence Observations + Model with biomass saturation information Model Backscatter SPA was used to predict canopy and soil moisture, and coupled with a radar scattering model to predict coherence. Also needed was the saturation level of biomass, which had to be measured from the data

Lessons 3 Here the carbon model is essential to interpret the data and its variation.
