Carbon Cycle Component

FRCGC Carbon Cycle Component Models: Terrestrial model

•Sim-CYCLE by Itoh & Oikawa (2002)

•20 PFTs without dynamic vegetation

•5 compartments for each PFT

“DGVMization” of Sim-CYCLE

Individual basis model, which explicitly treat 3D forest-structure within 30m x 30m patches

Foliage : biomass, crown diameter, crown depth Stem : biomass, height, sapwood & heartwood diameter Root : biomass

Individual characteristics

--- Shape of crown and stem are approximated by cylinder

DGVM: Dynamical Global Vegetation Model

-> Incorporation of the effect of biome-shift into Sim-CYCLE

FRCGC Carbon Cycle Component Models: Oceanic model

•4-compartment ecosystem model (Oschlies & Garcon, 1998)

•Treatment of carbonate system as recommended by OCMIP

•MIROC 3.2 Intermediate Resolution Version (no flux adjustment)

“borrowed” from the K-1 project

•Atmosphere:

CCSR/NIES/FRCGC AGCM 5.7

T42L20

Online aerosol

•Ocean:

COCO3.4 (developed by CCSR, Univ. of Tokyo)

(0.5-1.0)°×1.4°, 43 Layers + BBL

Atmosphere-Ocean Coupled Model

Participation in C4MIP

• C4MIP: Coupled Carbon Cycle Climate Model Intercomparison Project– Strongly IPCC-conscious– Participants: Hadley (UK); IPSL (France); MPI

(Germany); LLNL, NCAR, Berkeley, Maryland, GFDL (US); CSIRO (Australia); FRCGC (Japan)

– Our “pacemaker”

Kyousei Integrated Synergetic System Model of the Earth

KISSME!

C4MIP Phase 1 Experiment

• Land-atmosphere coupled run– Do not really focus on climate-carbon cycle

interaction– CO2 as a simple tracer with sources and sinks

at the surface (including land use change)– Results due in Feb. 2005

C4MIP Phase 2 Experiment

• Experiments with full coupled model including the ocean (like KISSME)

• In parallel with Phase 1• Protocol yet to be firmly established• “Flying leap” experiments can be its prototype.

– 1%/yr increase of CO2 emission– Experiments w/ and w/o interactions between climate

and carbon cycle– Results due to Feb. 2005?

Preliminary results from a “climate of 20th century” run with the full

coupled model

Summary for Carbon Cycle Modeling

• Preliminary results with land-atmosphere and land-atmosphere-ocean coupled models

• Collaboration with the “sister project” K-1-> tune-up of the coupled climate model

• Participation in C4MIP-> Contribution to IPCC AR4

• Fine-tuning of the carbon cycle components is now being carried out --- Stay tuned!
