GEMS-GHG Objectives
  1. To monitor daily-to-seasonal variations in 3d
    fields of atmospheric CO2.
  2. To provide improved estimates of CO2 sources and
    sinks.
  3. To diagnose the relative contributions to land
    carbon sources and sinks.
  4. To monitor daily-to-seasonal variations in CH4,
    N2O, CO.

GEMS-GHG Heritage and Partner Projects
  • COCO FP5 Project (Dec 2001 Dec 2004) obj. 1
  • CarboEurope (FP5 cluster and FP6 IP)
  • CarboEurope - AEROCARB (March 2000 March
    2003) obj. 2,3
  • CarboEurope - CAMELS (Nov 2002 Nov 2005)
    obj. 3
  • EVERGREEN (non-CO2 retrievals) (2002-2005)
    obj. 4
  • MERSEA (includes Ocean GEMS) FP6 IP
  • GEOLAND (includes Land GEMS) FP6 IP

GEMS-GHG Deliverables
  • Year 1 Maps of column integral CO2,120km, 10-day
    mean
  • Year 2 4d fields of CO2, quality controlled
    against in situ measurements (120km,10-day mean)
  • Year 2 Maps of column integral CH4, N2O, CO
    (daily?), 120km, 10-day mean
  • Year 3 CO2 sources and sinks (10-day mean,
    120km) validated against bottom-up flux estimates
    (e.g. CARBOEUROPE)
  • Year 4 Retrieval of process model parameters and
    attribution of CO2 sources and sinks.

GEMS-GHG Workpackages
  • 4d retrieval of CO2 from remote sensing.
    Engelen, ECMWF
  • Assessment of CO2 retrievals
    Heimann, MPI-BGC
  • Inversions to estimate CO2 sources and sinks
    Ciais, LSCE
  • Development of a CCDAS to estimate contributions
    to land CO2 sources and sinks.
    Cox, UKMO
  • Prototype system to retrieve column integral CH4,
    N2O, CO.

  • Chedin, LMD

GEMS-GHG Outstanding Issues
  1. Are the subproject deliverables realistic given
    the time and resource constraints? (e.g. should
    we focus just on CO2?)
  2. Does the consortium have sufficient expertise in
    all of the relevant areas? Do we need additional
    groups for the forward modelling of non-CO2 GHGs?
  3. How will we deal with ocean-atmosphere fluxes?
    Links to MERSEA?
  4. Can we find a way to unify the two approaches to
    modelling CO2 sources and sinks?
  5. How should we subdivide GEMS GHG, and who will
    lead the writing of each part? (...keep your
    heads down!)
