1 “Biosphere Experiment” Intercomparison of atmospheric CO2 simulations based on biosphere fluxes from different terrestrial ecosystem models U. Karstens, P. Peylin and CarboEurope terrestrial biosphere modellers CarboEurope atmospheric transport modellers

2 “Question” Can we validate / falsify the different terrestrial models with existing continuous European measurements ?

3 Biosphere experiment Strategy:
Forward model simulations of atmospheric CO2 using biosphere fluxes from the model intercomparison in CarboEurope-IP Integration Differences in fluxes —> differences in CO2 concentration Comparison with observations of atmospheric CO2 as additional evaluation of simulated fluxes Problems: Biosphere fluxes are only available for Europe —> complete with ‘standard‘ global biosphere fluxes Sub-daily temporal resolution is needed —> reconstruct diurnal cycle based on REMO hourly radiation

21 Discussion What can we learn ? Next steps:
Significant differences in some regions ! Differences due to transport smaller than due to fluxes ! Evaluation of regional TEM fluxes through a comparison of simulated and observed atmospheric CO2 ? Contribution from fluxes inside Europe vs. outside Europe ? Next steps: Evaluate simulations for time period More models ? ! Feedback to biosphere modellers
