Seeking help on doc/information about the compiled database from GCBM.Belize

[ankitaS11]

Hi,

I’m trying to generate graphs explaining NPP, NEP etc. from the GCBM.Belize run, and am unable to find the relevant table names and column names for the same. Like, I figured out that there is v_flux_indicators table, but again, not too sure what flux_tc column is?

Is there any documentation or a script that has done this before? By this, I mean, exploring the compiled database, and/or plotting some metrics.

Hi @ankitaS11!

I haven't seen this documented (but it must be somewhere) - the exported indicators are described in modules_outputs.json.

For example here's how to add NPP - it's the flux of carbon from the atmosphere into living vegetative biomass. flux_tc means tonnes of carbon.

Here's a diagram of the fluxes described in the CBM-CFS3 Science modules (which are built in to the GCBM)

HW stands for hardwood and SW stands for softwood. The decomposition into specific gasses (CO, CO2, CH4) is not shown, but is also available. This is important because each gas has a different global warming potential.
