Description: Das Projekt "Terrestrial and Atmospheric Carbon Observing System - Infrastructure TACOS" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Heidelberg, Institut für Umweltphysik durchgeführt. The objective of the TACOS-Infrastructure project is to establish a novel infrastructure for monitoring the carbon balance of European ecosystems based on existing research projects. This will lay off the foundation for a fully operational observing system for the terrestrial sources and sink of CO2 over Europe, in light of the Kyoto Protocol. The road towards the objective above is paved with the improvement of calibrations for the existing European network of atmospheric CO2 stations, and with the implementation of an online data-transmission system for flux tower measurements. We will integrate the flux towers and the atmospheric stations networks within a synergetic approach where tall towers will become atmospheric monitoring sites for use in transport models. Atmospheric CO2 and related tracers measurements, presently being carried out through scattered national and EU funded programmes by different laboratories, will be integrated into a unified dataset. To do so, we propose to set up a 'HUB' laboratory responsible for Europe for the distribution of well characterised air standards in high pressure cylinders. In the mean time, at the international level, a dynamic monitoring of calibration activities will be jointly established between the European 'HUB' and three other CO2 'HUB' laboratories in Australia, USA, and Asia. At the European level, we will further monitor the intercomparability of CO2 measurements between the four main institutes operating air sampling networks. Eddy covariance flux measurements from 14 towers in place in Europe, 2 in Amazonia and 3 in Siberia, presently corrected and quality controlled at different specific locations will be processed and archived at a central facility. To do so, we propose to set up and online transmission system of flux towers data, that includes archiving, quality control and accessibility. Quality controlled atmospheric CO2 concentration and CO2 flux data, meteo and additional ecological data will be archived to a data centre accessible via the World Wide Web. We have identified as major end users of the TACOS-Infrastructure data a large scientific community world-wide in the field of atmospheric sciences, ecology and forestry as well as stakeholders and policy makers involved in the Post-Kyoto decision process related to the sequestration of carbon in the land biosphere.
