GAIM
Definition
- The long-term aim of the Global Analysis, Interpretation and Modelling (GAIM) Task Force is to develop comprehensive, prognostic models of the global biogeochemical system that can be coupled with General Circulation Models (GCMs). The Task Force analyzes current models and data, assesses the capability of current models and experimental programs to resolve key questions, and advances and synthesizes our understanding of the global biogeochemical cycles and their links to the hydrologic cycle and to the physical-climate system as a whole. GAIM has started bringing together previously unlinked models of interacting processes, with initial emphasis on the global carbon cycle and the interaction between climate and terrestrial ecosystems at regional scales. GAIM is a Task Force of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) and works in collaboration with modelling groups of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP).
