NASA-CMS Phase 1 Biomass Pilot. The goals of the Biomass Pilot are to:  Utilize satellite and in situ data to produce quantitative estimates (and uncertainties) of aboveground terrestrial vegetation biomass on a national and local scale.  Assess the ability of these results to meet the nations need for monitoring carbon storage/sequestration. Flux Pilot. The objectives of the Flux Pilot are to:  Combine satellite data with modeled atmospheric transport initiated by observationally-constrained terrestrial and oceanic models to tie the atmospheric observations to surface exchange processes.  Estimate the atmosphere-biosphere CO 2 exchange. Scoping Efforts. The objectives of the Scoping Efforts are to:  Identify research, products, and analysis system evolutions required to support carbon policy and management as global observing capability increases.

Award Year and Themes Addressed

NASA-CMS Working Groups Responsiveness (Sean Healey) Capability Risk (Josh Fisher) External Communications (Molly Brown, Ariane Verdy) System Framework (Kevin Bowman, Steve Pawson) Uncertainties (Robert Kennedy) Algorithm Assessment (Sangram Ganguly, Scott Powell) Biomass-Flux (Jim Collatz, Scott Denning) Atmoshpheric Validation (Heather Graven) MRV (Richard Birdsey) Data/Data Management (Kathy Hibbard)

Applications Workshop Summary Excellent interaction and input from stakeholders working with NASA-CMS projects, across a range of spatial/policy scales (subnational, national, international, and ocean). Stakeholders very pleased and encouraged by CMS activities, emerging capabilities, and future potential CMS should not just about data products, but also about addressing policy relevant science questions Importance of baseline, monitoring, and projection/prediction, and attribution Importance of uncertainty quantification, “accuracy willing to pay for” Importance of state of art capability, leadership in CMS capabilities Input is timely, with very aggressive policy timelines nationally/internationally Need to get ahead in understanding future policy needs and future capabilities Data Delivery? Don’t, make data available in std GIS format.

Key Questions What are the current capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, gaps of NASA-CMS? What are the most important new directions, needs, and opportunities for NASA-CMS? What are the win-win benefits of CMS for science and application? How should NASA-CMS organize and improve its functioning? Can/should we envision a “national CMS”, and what would should it look like?
