BG1.9 New advances in model development of biospheric processes |
Convener: Carlos Sierra | Co-Conveners: Sandra Arndt , Victor Brovkin |
This session offers the opportunity to showcase new advances in different areas of biospheric model development such as: 1) incorporation of new processes, or the improvement of older/simplistic schemes; 2) inter-comparisons of numerical output, mathematical representations, or algorithms; 3) modeling experiments exploring the sensitivity of different processes or the outcome of different scenarios in model input. We particularly invite contributions that address new developments of large-scale biospheric models; e.g. the representation of the biological C pump in the ocean, or the permafrost-climate feedback, among many other Earth system processes and feedbacks. Improvements on other levels of abstraction are also welcome; e.g. at cellular or organismic scales that can improve representation of processes in ESMs.
