Abstract:
New parameterizations are being developed for 'Japan Model' SimCYCLE, which is a process-based terrestrial ecosystem model with monthly simulation steps for extimating potential global GPP, NEP, and NPP. Additionally, various improvements to this model are being investigated through different ways, such as by 'nudging' with satellite derived key vegetation-state variables or by assimilation of key internal parameters by satellite-derived vegetation-state variables. Using GCM outputs, the improved model will be employed to predict future estimates of global fluxes, mainly NPP.
