Igbp/gaim Report Series Report #4 Atmospheric Tracer Transport Model Intercomparison Project (transcom) a Special Project of Igbp-gaim G L B a L O Change

2 Overview The goal of Atmospheric Tracer Transport Model Intercomparison Project (TransCom) is to quantify and diagnose the uncertainty in inversion calculations of the global carbon budget that result from errors in the simulated transport. The specific objectives of the TransCom project are (1) quantify the degree of uncertainty in current carbon budget estimates that results from uncertaint...

Development of a global land cover characteristics database and IGBP DISCover from 1 km AVHRR data

Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey, University of Nebraska– Lincoln and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy produced a 1 km resolution global land cover characteristics database for use in a wide range of continentalto global-scale environmental studies. This database provides a unique view of the broad patterns of the biogeographical and ecoclimatic diversity...

Usability Study to Assess the IGBP Land Cover Classification for Singapore

Our research focuses on assessing the usability of the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP) classification scheme provided in the MODIS MCD12Q1-1 dataset for assessing the land cover of the city-state, Singapore. We conducted a user study with responses from 33 users by providing them with Google Earth images from different parts of Singapore, asking survey-takers to classify thes...
