CARBONES
30-year re-analysis of CARBON fluxES and pools over Europe and the globe
Welcome on the website of CARBONES!
CARBONES is a EU FP7-funded project aiming to provide a 30-year long re-analysis of carbon fluxes and pools over Europe and the globe, in form of a user-friendly on-line interface. The project is a partnership between teams in France, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and China, and is coordinated by Noveltis.
CARBONES proposes a novel approach for quantifying and understanding CO2 surface fluxes. It will deliver the first ever consistent, high space- and time-resolution history of the carbon cycle, with associated uncertainties and attribution to controlling processes.

The products and diagnostics will be publicly disseminated thanks to a tailored user-friendly interface, allowing climate modellers, other science communities, and the general public to understand and easily visualize the living carbon cycle over the past 30 years. The project will lay the foundation of a future global operational verification system of CO2 fluxes.
