1. Introduction

• Land surface/ecosystem models, like IBIS,

simulate the fluxes of energy, water and CO2

between the surface and the atmosphere

• Traditionally in the field, these models are

usually calibrated against data collected in one

single site per ecosystem

• Given the availability of LBA data for Amazonia, in this study, we calibrate IBIS against data from four primary rainforest sites in Amazonia?

• The process of calibration aims at minimizing the RMSE for latent and sensible heat fluxes, as well as carbon fluxes

• Model input variables– Sin (solar incoming radiation)– Lin (infrared incoming radiation)– Ta (air temperature)– ha (air relative humidity)– ua (wind speed)– P (precipitation)

• Model validation– Rn (net radiation)– H (sensible heat flux)– LE (latent heat flux)– NEE (net ecosystem exchange)

Data filtering

• Input data

• Turbulence threshold (u*0 = 0.1 m/s)

• Energy balance closure ( = 0.4), on a daily basis

Parameters calibrated

• Fine root distribution (2)

• Maximum capacity of Rubisco enzyme (Vmax)

• Angular coefficient related to stomatal conductance (m)

• Heat capacity of stems (CHS)

4. Conclusions (1/2)• Calibrated IBIS against data for 4 LBA primary

forest sites

• Expected similar parameters for all sites

• Initial results shows 2 sets of parameters

• Errors in the meteorological or flux datasets reported in 2 sites

• New results (preliminary) indicate that 3 of the 4 sites show similar parameters

• Model results very sensitive to errors in input data

4. Conclusions (2/2)• Model results across sites also sensitive to

inconsistencies in input data across sites

• Inconsistencies in input data very likely, given the different design and operation of LBA sites

• Collaboration with field scientists essential to eliminate inconsistencies among datasets

• Representative parameters to all rainforest sites may depend on elimination of inconsistencies
