This suite of models will rest within an interactive information system which couples remote sensing data and numerical models.
Initial efforts focus on the cycles of water, carbon, nitrogen, and selected trace gases.
Process-based models are being developed as modules, in concert with database management techniques which synthesize the in situ and remote sensing data needed to characterize regional and global scales. Ecosystem, hydrologic, and biogeochemical models will ultimately be coupled interactively to atmospheric chemistry and transport models.
