Land Surface Modeling

Biogeochemical or biophysical land surface models are being used to supply time-varying, spatially distributed estimates of plant productivity, evapotranspiration, and net ecosystem exchange. The image shows preliminary results of a global analysis using the newest version of Simple Biosphere as forced with NCEP2 meteorology and GIMMS remotely-sensed vegetation index from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. These preliminary results were contributed by Neil Suits of Colorado State University.
