INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY ON THE CARBON CYCLE

Objective

SIMULATION OF CARBON CYCLE AND CO2-CONCENTRATION IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

AT PRESENT THE FOLLOWING MODELS EXIST :
OBM : THE OSNABRUCK BIOSPHERE MODEL.
OCM : A THREE DIMENSIONAL OCEANIC CARBON CYCLE MODEL.
ATM : A THREE DIMENSIONAL ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORT MODEL.

ATM WILL BE EXTENDED BY INCLUSION OF OBSERVED WINDFIELDS FROM THE ECMWF ANALYSES FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD 1979-85. IN ADDITION, AN IMPROVED PARAMETRIZATION OF THE SUBGRIDSCALE VERTICAL CONVECTION AND OF THE PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER WILL BE INSTALLED. AS A TEST OF THE SHORT-TERM (DAYS TO SEVERAL WEEKS) TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MODEL A SERIES OF SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS WITH CONTINENTAL TRACE GASES, SUCH AS RADIOACTIVE 222RN, WILL BE CONDUCTED. THE RESULTS WILL BE COMPARED WITH DATA OBTAINED, SELECTED AND INDIVIDUALLY ANALYZED IN TERMS OF ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORT AT THE MONITORING STATION NETWORK OPERATED BY THE CFR IN THE FRENCH TAAF (TERRES AUSTRALES ET ANTARTIQUES FRANCAISES).
WE WOULD ALSO PARTICIPATE IN ESTIMATION OF THE WINDSTRESS AND THE GAS TRANSFER VELOCITY IN SPACE AND TIME BY USING THE FOLLOWING METHOD :
FROM CIRCULATION STATISTICS OF THE T21 CLIMATE GENERAL CIRCULATION MODEL OF THE HAMBURG UNIVERSITY; IN A SECOND STAGE DIRECTLY FROM SURFACE WINDS ESTIMATED FROM THE ANALYSES OF THE ECMWF.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Data not available

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
