Assessing the South American Land Data Assimilation System (SALDAS) Datasets for the LBA Model Intercomparison Project (LBA-MIP) Luis Gustavo G de Goncalves NASA-GSFC/UMD-ESSIC INPE-CPTEC Joao de Mattos, Dirceu Herdies, Juan Ceballos, Daniel Vila, Jim Shuttleworth, Dave Toll, Natalia Coupe, Scott Saleska

Background The LBA Model Intercomparison Project (LBA-MIP) The LBA Model Intercomparison Project (LBA-MIP) The South American Land Data Assimilation System (SALDAS) Forcing Datasets The South American Land Data Assimilation System (SALDAS) Forcing Datasets SALDAS x LBA sites validation SALDAS x LBA sites validation

LBA-MIP Responds directly to the LBA-ECO Phase 3 “Synthesis and Integration” Responds directly to the LBA-ECO Phase 3 “Synthesis and Integration” Leverage from previous PILPS and MIP experience Leverage from previous PILPS and MIP experience The goal is to gain comparative understanding of ecosystem models that simulate energy, water and CO2 fluxes over the LBA area. The task is to subject all the models to the same forcing and experimental protocol, and compare the output. Perform model intercomparison in 2 phases: 1) 1)Single point comparison (LBA sites) 2) 2)Regional comparison (model derived gridded datasets) 1)How does a comprehensive suite of models simulate vegetation function (especially carbon and water fluxes) across different sites, and in response to seasonal and interannual climatic variations? What are the different modeling approaches, mechanisms, and/or sensitivities that cause different models to behave differently? 2)How do model simulations compare to observations through time and across sites? 3)Can observations be used to improve comprehensive models, revise our predictions of the fate of Amazonian forests, and their impact on global carbon cycling, under a changing climate? Key questions

LBA-MIP  Acquire meteorological data from a network of eddy flux towers in the Brazilian Amazon, to provide a consistently filled continuous dataset for driving models.  Use data to drive a suit of models.  Compare simulation behavior across models.  Use the flux observations to test and improve vegetation models of Amazonian carbon and water cycling, for application to projections of climate effects on Amazonian forests.  LBA-DMIP, phase 2: Spatially continuous simulations. Focusing on ecosystem land-vegetation models that are embedded in global-scale coupled GCMs (i) drive a suite of models with spatially continuous meteorological fields; (ii) test outputs with observation data products; and (iii) use the results to improve models which may then be used make a new suite predictions for the future of Amazon forests under climate change.
