Greenhouse gasses to list

[teixeirak]

4/1

1. Do we list all greenhouse gasses (CARBON DIOXIDE (006),CARBON MONOXIDE (005),METHANE (004),NITROGEN OXIDES (NO+NO2) (002),NITROUS OXIDE (007)) for C increments and other variables, or do these just apply to aboveground biomass?

5 gases are applicable to be selected in case of having carbon stock of biomass and dead organic matter expressed in tones dm/ha. This corresponds to the default values providers in Table 2.4 of ch.4 of the 2006 IPCC Gls.

[teixeirak]

from KAT: Do you want all these gasses listed for ∆C (ForC’s delta.agb or NEE) as well, or just for C stock/ biomass variables? (I understand the logic for the stocks, but not sure if it applies to increments as well.)

from Valentyna: CO2 only for C fluxes. 5 gases are for C stock.

---

@ValentineHerr , please update the code to list CO2 only (not multiple greenhouse gases) for fluxes and increments.

Currently, for Gases (ID1,ID2,...) I have :

IF

IPCC.Unit_.ID. of ForC_variables_mapping.csv is in Carbon units (if there is a "C" in the field)

THEN enter "CARBON DIOXIDE (006)"

OTHERWISE

enter "CARBON DIOXIDE (006),CARBON MONOXIDE (005),METHANE (004),NITROGEN OXIDES (NO+NO2) (002),NITROUS OXIDE (007)"

@teixeirak, you are saying that the IF statement should be: "if units is in carbon AND variable is a flux or increment"?

OR, maybe more straightforward, if units are in Organic matter and variable is a stock, then enter "CARBON DIOXIDE (006),CARBON MONOXIDE (005),METHANE (004),NITROGEN OXIDES (NO+NO2) (002),NITROUS OXIDE (007)"

[teixeirak]

It should be

IF units are in Organic matter and variable is a stock, then enter "CARBON DIOXIDE (006),CARBON MONOXIDE (005),METHANE (004),NITROGEN OXIDES (NO+NO2) (002),NITROUS OXIDE (007)"

ELSE enter "CARBON DIOXIDE (006)"

Ok I integrated that in the script and updated the mapping document. I think we can close this.
