Scope |
The GEO CL-02 task, entitled "Integrated Global Carbon Observation and Analysis System," is registered in the work plan for the period of 2012-2015 of the Group on Earth Observation. Its description is Develop a comprehensive global carbon observation and analysis system integrated across the atmosphere, land and ocean (including anthropogenic) domains. Provide (i) improved estimates of carbon budget at different scales (from global to regional/national); and (ii) reliable information and products for decision-makers. Improve global observation networks of CO2, CH4, isotope ratios and exchange fluxes. Develop an integrated carbon-cycle data assimilation system. Provide communication points to increase the information flow from providers to users, and disseminate current state-of-the-art information. However, in the last work plan symposium in May 2012 in Geneva, it was pointed out that this task was not well coordinated. Although some institutions in Japan join this task, the available information was limited. To enhance the communication, exchange of information and collaborative activity in Japan, this session has been proposed. For this session, oral and poster presentations will be accepted not only from the group of the registered task contributors but also from the potential contributors in a broad range of disciplines.
