Model

Coupled Carbon & Water (CCW) Model

  • Model Theory: Light-use efficiency & water-use efficiency
  • Model Version: 1.5
  • Scale: Monthly
  • Model Inputs: FPAR/NDVI, Land Cover/Area Proportion, Climate Data
  • Model Outputs: GPP & ET
  • Language: IDL
  • Model Link: https://osf.io/fv3bj/?view_only=b9382739ceb44689906844c591a572d7
  • Note: This model was calibrated and evaluated based on global flux tower data. Model applications at regional scales may need to be re-calibrated based on local available inputs.
