Keywords:Terrestrial, Synthesis, Carbon Dioxide

In the framework of Environment Research and Technology Development Funds (2-1401) from the Ministry of the Environment of Japan, we initiated synthesis analysis toward better estimations and understandings of terrestrial CO2 budget in Asia. We used multiple different data products such as atmospheric inverse analysis (top-down estimation), terrestrial ecosystem models, remote sensing data, and data-driven models (bottom-up estimation). Our analysis focuses on (1) inter-decadal changes in terrestrial CO2 fluxes at continental scales (Asia and Siberia), (2) testing consistency of terrestrial sink magnitude between top-down and bottom-up estimations in Asia, and (3) detection and analysis of ‘hotspot’ of terrestrial CO2 budget changes in Siberia and tropical Asia. We will show these progresses, and discuss future direction of these studies.
