NACP MsTMIP: Global 0.5-degree Model Outputs in Standard Format, Version 2.0

Get Data

Documentation Revision Date: 2021-11-23

Dataset Version: 2

Summary

This dataset provides version 2 of global gridded estimates of carbon, energy, and hydrologic fluxes between the land and atmosphere from 17 Terrestrial Biosphere Models (TBMs) participating the Multi-scale Synthesis and Terrestrial Model Intercomparison Project (MsTMIP). Model estimates are at monthly and yearly time steps for the period 1901 to 2010, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree globally, excluding Antarctica. The 17 TBMs include BIOME-BGC, CLM4, DLEM, GTEC, JPL-CENTURY, LPJ-wsl, SiB3, TEM6, VEGAS2.1, CLASS-CTEM-N, CLM4VIC, ISAM, JPL-HYLAND, ORCHIDEE-LSCE, SiBCASA, TRIPLEX-GHG, VISIT. An ensemble of key output variables (i.e., GPP, NEE, NEP, NPP, TotalResp, TotLivBiom, and TotSoilCarb) from these 17 TBMS is also provided.

There are 1,797 data files in NetCDF (.nc4) format in this dataset.

The QA and documentation for this dataset are in progress.
