NACP Investigators have organized several interim synthesis activities to evaluate and intercompare models and observations at local and regional scales for the period 2000 - 2005. These activities are open to all investigators who have data or model results for North America.
Five interim synthesis activities are being conducted:
- Site-level Interim Synthesis
- Regional and Continental Interim Synthesis
- Mid-continent Intensive Interim Synthesis
- Non-CO2
Greenhouse Gases
Coastal Interim Synthesis
Participants (includes potential contributors)
