Next-generation modeling for high latitude systems Objectives: Identify key research priorities for next-generation high-latitude ecosystem models. Identify critical modeling priorities for ABoVE Science Definition Team (SDT) for Concise Experiment Plan. Structure: Setting the stage Roundtable discussion of the Big Thing Develop a priority list
So, what was the Big Thing? DATA! Meteorological, disturbance, trace gas fluxes, canopy N, albedo, vegetation structure, vegetation dynamics, LiDAR, soil temperature, soil moisture, surface hydrology, atmospheric correction, land / water mask, isotopes, spectral libraries, DEMs,
Priorities? Before a Solicitation Identify important processes Gather existing data on key mechanisms Social science dimension: what does it mean? Identify field work necessary to assess error in RS measurements Engage partners and stakeholders Data management plan
Priorities? Before the Campaign Improved / more met stations Top-down constraints on model diagnostics Airborne campaign requirements Base-line data sets for assessing vulnerability and change
Priorities? By the End of the Campaign Characterize disturbance regimes and recovery Develop model validation data sets Large-scale flux measurements for next-gen ESMs Improved representation of soil processes Permafrost vulnerability and feedbacks Vegetation dynamics Biogeochemical cycles and trace gas fluxes External drivers
