Ottawa, Canada, 8-11 February 2000
In response to an increasing interest in terrestrial carbon, and following a proposal led by the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), the Integrated Global Observing Strategy Partnership (IGOS-P) approved the "terrestrial carbon cycle" as its second major theme in November 1999. This report presents the results of a follow-up Terrestrial Carbon Observation (TCO) Synthesis Workshop, organized by GTOS in collaboration with the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and other IGOS-P members on 8-11 February 2000 in Ottawa, Canada. The workshop was designed to summarize existing information and observation requirements regarding terrestrial carbon, conduct initial evaluation of existing data or observations in relation to the requirements, identify major gaps or deficiencies and propose solutions.
