ORCHIDEE (CCI-LC – Olson)
•  Increase in high lat. albedo with increased bare soil
•  Decrease in W Canada with increasing tree cover
•  Decrease in some cropland areas
By catchment experiment
Surface albedo
JSBACH
• 
Over high- and mid-latitude catchments: CCI-LC albedo higher than reference
• 
Over arid and semi-arid regions: improvement with CCI-LC albedo

•  Effect of albedo difference visible in estimated 2m t° (↑

•  General improvement over most catchments

Uncertainty due to epoch
JSBACH
• 
Notable difference in CCI-LC maps only in Amazon and Congo (large-scale
deforestation " increased albedo) ! need for simulation with LC change
• 
For other regions, using the 2010 epoch is a reasonable assumption

Summary
•  Significant differences are observed in the land surface description
when using CCI-LC maps w.r.t. older reference maps
• 
• 
• 
Boreal region with the continuum bare – sparse vegetation –
grassland
– 
JULES & ORCHIDEE: vegetation to bare soil è increased albedo associated with
decrease in extreme temperatures
– 
JSBACH: more forest & less bare soil è increases of LAI, biomass and surface
albedo è decrease of surface temperature and sensible heat flux
JSBAC model: less forest and more bare soil in West Africa, Sahel,
Congo
– 
LAI and biomass decrease, albedo increase
– 
reduced NPP, GPP and evapotranspiration
– 
soil moisture and runoff increases.
Globally, large reduction in C3 grass cover and increase in C4
grass cover ! generally increases GPP, but decreases cVeg,
associated with improvements in max temp bias
Summary
•  All models show high sensitivity to land cover as an initial
condition for both stocks and fluxes
• 
Mainly changes in high latitudes and tropics
• 
Improvement in high latitude NPP, in GPP online
• 
Improvement in terrestrial carbon sink estimate and seasonality
• 
For Amazon and Congo, albedo is increasing from the earliest 2000 Epoch to the
latest 2010 Epoch ! indication of large-scale deforestation of tropical rainforest
• 
Mixed response of biomass, depending on region BUT global reduction in positive
bias
• 
Improvement to atmospheric data at high latitudes
• 
Improved representation of 2m air temperature and surface albedo in some regions
• 
CCI-LC constrains the problem of where to improve existing model
processes and parameters
• 
Implementation of fully consistent changes of land cover (not only
input data but all associated parameters – e.g. PFTs distributions)
would lead to a more larger impact of CCI data
2 papers to come
Paper 1 - “Land cover uncertainty in land carbon cycle processes”
… Making sense of multiple benchmarks …
Paper 2 - “A plant functional type classification for Earth System
Models from the European Space Agency Essential Climate Variables
Program”
… Toward regular PFT classification from ESA-CCI …
For the future
•  Further discussion/development of cross-walking procedure
(LCCS class into PFTs)
•  In Phase 1: assess the impact of LC uncertainty with all models
with their own reference map
Next step: Same experiment with all models with the same
reference map
•  Model optimization for new CCI-LC maps
•  More links between C and water/energy expertise in modelling
groups
•  Create a LC change scenario (yearly) and assess its impact on the
C, water and energy fluxes (especially on on-going deforestation
and associated fluxes)
•  Use of WB product and/or LC condition products in models
