Purpose:
The fusion of data streams from observational infrastructures with advanced earth system models is the next step in developing integrated knowledge on global carbon and greenhouse gas budgets. This workshop aims at bringing together experts to advance this development. This will highlight the value of carbon observations provided by interoperable data sources in the context of various data usage and modeling frameworks, with a multidisciplinary context. This workshop will evolve in the context of the COP21 and hence enhance the visibility of these activities. Results and perspectives from this workshop can be passed on to the COP21 discussion and the scientific conference held at Paris in July 2015.
The workshop is jointly organized by ICOS and NEON, research infrastructures dedicated to carbon and ecosystems observations in Europe and in the USA respectively.
