17 17Managed by UT-Battelle for the Department of Energy Summary Regional TBM comparisons indicate a lack of consensus for NEP and component fluxes – GPP, Ra, Rh Analyses to diagnose the causes reveal: – Model formulation plays a significant role. – Different weather driver data sets greatly impact GPP TBM Re tends to be tightly related to GPP – this dampens the NEE seasonal cycle and IAV Annual NEE cycle amplitude is small for TBM compared to inversions.

18 18Managed by UT-Battelle for the Department of Energy Conclusions  Regional C modeling enterprise needs a more rigorous approach to development and evaluation.  Large disparities remain in estimates based on temporal and spatial extrapolations of experimental and site based understanding.  Additional data, especially based on spatially extensive measurements, needs to be integrated into the modeling system approach. –Improve model algorithms/parameters –Improved diagnostic and predictive usefulness –Evaluate model skill –Develop useful benchmarks  An transition from data-poor to data-rich approach is emerging for developing multi-stream observing systems and modeling system analyses.  The NACP regional synthesis has contributed by exploring how a wider range of data sources can be used.
