Description
This dataset provides an updated version of global gridded estimates of carbon, energy, and hydrologic fluxes between the land and atmosphere from 17 Terrestrial Biosphere Models (TBMs) in a standard format. Model estimates are at monthly and yearly time steps for the period 1900 to 2010, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree globally, excluding Antarctica. In addition to estimates from individual models, this dataset also contains an ensemble of estimates (including mean and spread) for selected variables across models. Model ensembles are provided at monthly time steps. The 17 TBMs are models participating in the Multi-scale Synthesis and Terrestrial Model Intercomparison Project (MsTMIP): BIOME-BGC, CLASS-CTEM-N, CLM4, CLM4VIC, DLEM, GTEC, ISAM, JPL-CENTURY, JPL-HYLAND, LPJ-wsl, ORCHIDEE-LSCE, SiB3, SiBCASA, TEM6, TRIPLEX-GHG, VEGAS2.1, and VISIT. The data are provided in Climate & Forecast (CF) convention compatible netCDF version 4 format.
