Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring our AGU session (B004) to your attention. If you
have done research on uncertainty assessment and reduction for
terrestrial carbon cycle diagnosis and prediction recently, please
consider to submit an abstract to our session.
*Session ID#: * 24868
Session Description:
Quantifying and reducing uncertainty in diagnosed and modeled carbon
fluxes and stocks is a major challenge for the carbon cycle science
community. Uncertainty in regional- to global-scale diagnoses limits our
ability to test and develop accurate prognostic carbon cycle models, a
major source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. However,
recent advances in observations, ecosystem experiments, data
assimilation techniques, and scientific computing have improved
diagnostic and prognostic skill in carbon cycle science. We invite
submissions that (1) investigate uncertainty in model forcings,
parameters, or structure and the resulting uncertainty in diagnosis
and/or predictions; (2) quantify and reduce uncertainty using
benchmarking datasets and model-data integration; and (3) document new
process understanding, observations, experiments or datasets that will
advance this field. We welcome innovative work from all means of
studying the terrestrial carbon cycle, including inventory assessments,
ecosystem and earth system models, field experiments, remote sensing,
and model-data syntheses.
