The International Land Model Benchmarking (ILAMB) project is a model–data comparison and integration activity designed to assess and improve the performance of land models. The Biogeochemistry–Climate Feedbacks project, supported by the Regional and Global Climate Modeling (RGCM) Program within the U.S. Department of Energy, is developing model evaluation metrics and diagnostics, and is incorporating them into an open source software package for community use and improvement. This town hall will highlight new metrics, offer updates on ILAMB package development, and solicit input from the Earth system modeling and the in situ and remote sensing measurements communities.
