SIB-ESS-C: The SIBERIA-II Earth System Science Cluster

SIBERIA-II is a joint Russian-European remote sensing project to produce greenhouse gas accounts for a 3 mil sq km area between the Yenisey River and Lake Baikal. The project worked between 2002 and 2005. All available optical and radar satellites were used to produce 11 land surface products, like land cover, snow depth, wetland areas, disturbances. Theses satellite derived maps were included to two Dynamic Vegetation Models to calculate NPP. The results show that the Russian boreal forest is indeed a carbon sink due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere, however the sink capacity is smaller than earlier results because of disturbances. The Earth System Science Cluster is now being started as a living database and model tool to continue data acquisition, data storage and satellite product derivation from 2005 until 2010.
