A51M:
Constraining Biosphere-Atmosphere Exchange Processes Using Remote Sensing and in Situ Observations I

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 33290

Session Description:
Understanding the relationship between atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) measurements and surface carbon, energy and water fluxes, is fundamental to predicting their future evolution in a changing climate. This session focuses on modeling frameworks (both top-down and bottom-up) that investigate biosphere-atmosphere exchange processes using data from various observational platforms, for example, in situ, localized surface networks and aircraft campaigns (such as ACT-America, AToM, CARVE), remote-sensing missions (such as OCO-2, GOSAT, SMAP), or combination thereof. We invite contributions on: 1) estimation and/or verification of GHG budgets from various approaches and methods to reconcile between them; 2) inverse modeling and data assimilation systems for obtaining GHG budgets; 3) examination of the role of atmospheric transport, or observational and model errors on estimated GHG budgets; 4) strategies for coupling atmospheric inversions to biogeochemical models; and 5) use of multiple species (such as carbon isotopes, OCS, SIF, APO) to provide insight into process-based model formulations.
