Introducing Satellite Data Based Biosphere Model BEAMS to Improve
Regional Transport Model for Estimating CO2 Emission from Mega-city
Tokyo
Abstract
GOSAT (Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite) observations ameliorate
inversion analysis of greenhouse gas emissions. Meso-scale atmospheric
transport model (AIST-MM, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology-Mesoscale Model) and global-scale transport model
(NICAM-TM, Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model-Transport Model)
have been coupled for GOSAT data assimilation in order to estimate CO2
emission from mega-city Tokyo. However, forests in the north and west of
Kanto region, of which Tokyo Metropolis is the center, generate
significant biogenic CO2 fluxes and such atmosphere-biosphere gas
exchange remains to be properly calculated during the modeling
processes. In this study, we use MODIS products to simulate regional GPP
(gross primary production), vegetational and soil respirations based on
BEAMS (Biosphere model integrating Eco-physiological And Mechanistic
approaches using Satellite data) algorithms. By integrating this
atmosphere-terrestrial ecosystem carbon balance module to our regional
inversion analysis, we aim at more precise estimation of CO2 emission
from Tokyo. Reference
