PI-based synthesis of project data is a new idea |
|
Integrating modelers and scientists… |
|
The agencies have supported SMP in a big way ($’s
~ U.S. JGOFS process study) |
|
|
|
|
|
Can we show SMP’s effectiveness??? |
|
|
|
|
1995: U.S. JGOFS SMP steering committee formed |
|
1996: Durham meeting |
|
1997: Implementation report published &
first PI meeting |
|
2003: Lights out… |
|
|
|
|
Synthesize natural/anthropogenic in/organic
carbon inventories & fluxes |
|
Identify & quantify processes controlling
the partitioning among carbon reservoirs |
|
Assess processes leading to spatial/temporal
variability in carbon partitioning |
|
Scale results to longer time & larger
spatial domains |
|
Improve capabilities for monitoring &
prediction of carbon partitioning |
|
|
|
|
|
Global and regional mass balances |
|
Synthesis of natural/anthropogenic carbon
inventories & budgets (& related substances) |
|
Mechanistic controls on local carbon balances |
|
Identify & model processes controlling
within-ocean & ocean-atmosphere partitioning of carbon (& related
…) |
|
Extrapolation, monitoring & prediction |
|
Scale local results to regional/global &
long-time scales |
|
Develop & apply accurate prediction
capabilities |
