Crossover Models - Regional model runs are more positively biased for GPP. Site model runs closer to observations.

Summary
Regional TBM comparisons indicate a lack of consensus for NEP and component fluxes – GPP, Ra, Rh
Analyses to diagnose the causes reveal:– Model formulation plays a significant role.
– Different weather driver data sets greatly impact GPP
TBM Re tends to be tightly related to GPP – this dampens the NEE seasonal cycle and IAV
Annual NEE cycle amplitude is small for TBM compared to inversions.

Conclusions Regional C modeling enterprise needs a more rigorous
approach to development and evaluation.
Large disparities remain in estimates based on temporal and spatial extrapolations of experimental and site based understanding.
Additional data, especially based on spatially extensive measurements, needs to be integrated into the modeling system approach.– Improve model algorithms/parameters
– Improved diagnostic and predictive usefulness
– Evaluate model skill
– Develop useful benchmarks
An transition from data-poor to data-rich approach is emerging for developing multi-stream observing systems and modeling system analyses.
The NACP regional synthesis has contributed by exploring how a wider range of data sources can be used.
