ITMS Q&S Overview with Link to Posters

Ralf Kiese (KIT IMK-IFU)

D2OQ02

15+5

Overview of the CAMS emission products
Recent developments on a-priori emissions for the European emission verification within CAMS. Philosophy of the European products, discussing key assumptions and approaches for a consistent inventory for Europe. Uptake strategy in ITMS as planned within the Q&S project (FUB).

Martijn Schaap (FUB/TNO)

D2OQ03

10+5

Spatial distribution of GHG emissions - Greta improvements and integration of LULUCF emissions
This presentation will inform about the Greta improvements (and data package for Modul M) and the integration of LULUCF emission (from TI).

Stefan Feigenspan (UBA)

D2OQ04

10+5

Challenges for LULUCF Reporting = Opportunities for ITMS?

Roland Fuß (TI)

D2OQ05

8+2

First results of process-based modelling via LandscapeDNDC for N2O & NEE from agricultural soils
This is a presentation of the flexible framework for calculating GHG emission and deposition fields, using the example of agricultural soils and ingesting activity data of different WPs.

Andrew Smerald (KIT IMK-IFU)

D2OQ06

8+2

eCLM Setup and Technical Model Developments
We present the DE-0055 high-resolution simulation domain, customized for the local FZJ branch of the Community Land Model (eCLM), covering Germany and neighboring regions. This setup integrates detailed inputs, particularly for agricultural practices, and soil data provided by the Thünen Institute. Additionally, we highlight ongoing technical advancements focused on improving the representation of key cash crops and incorporating organic carbon dynamics from fertilization, which are crucial steps before initiating the model spin-up for nutrient pools and subsequent production runs.
