Functions

  • NBP_CONSTRAIN(): Constrain net biome production (land-atmosphere flux) ("(PgC/yr)")

  • VEG_C(): Vegetation C pool (`"Pg C"`)

  • DETRITUS_C(): Vegetation detritus C pool (`"Pg C"`)

  • SOIL_C(): Soil C pool (`"Pg C"`)

  • PERMAFROST_C(): Permafrost C pool (`"Pg C"`)

  • THAWEDP_C(): Thawed permafrost C pool (`"Pg C"`)

  • FRAC_FROZEN(): Fraction of permafrost still frozen ("(unitless)")

  • FRAC_STATIC(): Fraction of thawed permafrost that is static ("(unitless)")

  • PERMAFROST_MU(): Permafrost thaw mu parameter ("(unitless)")

  • PERMAFROST_SIGMA(): Permafrost thaw sigma parameter ("(unitless)")

  • FRAC_DECOMP_CH4(): Methane fraction of permafrost decomposition ("(unitless)")

  • NPP_FLUX0(): Initial net primary productivity (NPP)flux (`"Pg C year^-1"`)

Output variables

These variables can be read using the GETDATA message type:

CONCENTRATIONS_CO2

Atmospheric CO2 concentration

ATMOSPHERIC_CO2

Atmospheric CO2 in units of C

NBP

Net biome production. Annual global C flux from atmosphere into the land. A positive value means a net flux from atmosphere into land (i.e. land is a net carbon sink), while a negative value means a net flux from land into the atmosphere (i.e. land is a net carbon source). Note that despite the name--which follows disciplinary convention, see Chapin et al. 2006--this is currently a globally-averaged variable.

FFI_EMISSIONS

Fossil fuel and industrial emissions

LUC_EMISSIONS

Land use change emissions

NPP

Net primary production

RH

Heterotrophic respiration

EARTH_C

Earth pool

Input variables

FFI_EMISSIONS

Fossil fuel and industrial emissions ("Pg C/yr")

LUC_EMISSIONS

Land use change emissions ("Pg C/yr")

CO2_CONSTRAIN

Prescribed atmospheric CO2 concentration ("ppmv CO2")

NBP_CONSTRAIN

Prescribed net biome production (land-atmosphere C flux) ("Pg C/yr")

DACCS_UPTAKE

Direct air carbon capture and storage

LUC_UPTAKE

Land use change uptake

Note

Because these identifiers are provided as #define macros in the hector code, these identifiers are provided in the R interface as functions. Therefore, these objects must be called to use them; e.g., GETDATA() instead of the more natural looking GETDATA.
