MsTMIP Environmental Drivers
Introduction
To ensure consistent and comparable model results, the MsTMIP has assembled benchmark reference driver data sets, including standard weather drivers, remotely sensed phenology, biome classification, land-use history, and disturbance for use by all participating modeling teams. Table 1 describes the categories and attributes of environmental drivers.
