1 ICOS: Open data to open our eyes to climate change Harry Lankreijer Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science (INES) ICOS mission To collect high-quality observational data relevant to the greenhouse gas budget of Europe To make the ICOS data freely available to all interested parties To promote the use of the ICOS data for further scientific study To produce a basic group of derived products (elaborated data) 2 Harry Lankreijer, INES 1

2 10 +1 member countries Structure: Head office 4 Central Facilities: Thematic centres: OTC, ATC, ETC Calibration Lab Carbon Portal National networks Monitoring Station assembly General assembly ICOS: ri.eu/ Carbon Portal: cp.eu/ 3 ICOS station network ICOS RI has ca 120 measurement stations in European countries (11 participating countries). At the stations measures greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and fluxes over the terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The ICOS stations are run and funded by the national funding agencies, institutes and universities. 4 Harry Lankreijer, INES 2

3 The more complete ICOS network Long term and high quality observations of greenhouse gases. From community and project funding based towards a robust and coordinated long term network 5 ICOS Central Facilities and their (heterogeneous) data streams Atmosphere (ATC) High precision and accuracy atmospheric concentrations Calibrated at WMO certified mole fraction scales CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O, isotopes and associated tracers (CO, 222 Rn) Ocean (OTC) pco 2 observations from oceans and seas Ecosystems (ETC) Ecosystem flux observations for CO 2 (,CH 4, N 2 O) Analysis of soil and vegetation samples Calibration Lab (CAL) Provision of working standards, QA Flask sample analysis 14 C analysis 6 Harry Lankreijer, INES 3

6 Climate change data: Why greenhouse gas observation data is vital We have only Earth v1.0 GHG concentrations are main driver of Climate Change GHG fluxes drive the concentrations We cannot go back and measure in the past! Outcome of our GHG Earth experiment is uncertain Changes at unprecedented time scale Many feedbacks possible Thus far ~50% of CO 2 has been removed from atmosphere, future? Climate changes induces emission changes Climate models show large variability Emission reductions need to be verified by observations Emission reductions need adaptation to evolving climate dynamics Global, regional and local data of high quality now, long term!
