title: CLASSIC Benchmarking Collection (CBC) data and outputs for the Canadian Land Surface Scheme including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) v. 2.0

description: CLASSIC v. 2.0 model inputs and outputs for benchmarking 

This dataset is used by scripts in the CLASSIC codebase  along with the CLASSIC software container. Please ensure you obtain them prior to using this dataset. Instructions are provided on the Zenodo page of the software container.

This dataset contains data from FLUXNET2015, Ameriflux and directly from site PIs that is used to benchmark the Canadian Land Surface Scheme including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) v. 2.0. 

All model inputs required for the FLUXNET sites (59 sites in the inputFiles/FLUXNETsites_12PFT folder of the CLASSIC version 2.0 code) are provided along with example outputs that benchmark CLASSIC v.2.0. The FLUXNET.tar.gz file includes the meteorological forcings for each of the sites in the meteorology folder, the forcing file with annual atmospheric CO2 concentrations and measurements of selected carbon, water and energy fluxes from the FLUXNET2015, Ameriflux datasets or directly from site PIs for each site in the FLUXNETsites_obs folder.

The CLASSIC outputs provided in the Benchmark_CLASSIC_output.tar.gz file include raw model outputs in both netCDF and csv format. The Benchmark_CLASSIC_output.tar.gz file contains plots of selected variables (including carbon and energy fluxes) showing timeseries, crossplots and mean seasonal cycles of daily CLASSIC outputs and site observations, where available. A map showing the site location and the information included in the siteinfo.yaml file are also shown. Following the CLASSIC Quick Start Guide will generate all model outputs and plots on the user's own machine.

This work used eddy covariance data acquired and shared by the FLUXNET community, including these networks: AmeriFlux, AfriFlux, AsiaFlux, CarboAfrica, CarboEuropeIP, CarboItaly, CarboMont, ChinaFlux, Fluxnet-Canada, GreenGrass, ICOS, KoFlux, LBA, NECC, OzFlux-TERN, TCOS-Siberia, and USCCC.

Detailed descriptions of the FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline are available in:Pastorello, G., Trotta, C., Canfora, E. et al. The FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data. Sci Data 7, 225 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-020-0534-3

We thank C. Le Quéré for allowing us to distribute her CO2 record that was originally made for the TRENDY project.

Below are the sites included in the CLASSIC code. Only the sites included in the FLUXNETsites_12PFT are used in version 2.0 benchmarking.
