C-LAMP Results & Diagnostics

Net Ecosystem Exchange, July 2004

The instantaneous net ecosystem exchange of CO2 is shown projected onto the land surface from a Carbon-Land Model Intercomparison Project (C-LAMP) simulation during July 2004 as the sun rises over North America. Green represents an uptake by the biosphere because of photosynthesis where the sun has risen, while red represents a net flux to the atmosphere, dominated by heterotrophic respiration, where it is nighttime.
