Figure 1

Overview of the model-data integration setup and changes in the model-data cost. Panel (a) shows how the used satellite data and the LPJmL model were integrated to estimate model parameters using a genetic optimization algorithm. Panel (b) shows the spatial distribution and the distribution with respect to tree above-ground biomass and fractional tree cover of grid cells that were used for the three optimization experiments in the boreal, temperate and tropical zones. Panels (c–e) show for each optimization the changes in the cost for each data set and for the components of the cost that are related to model-data bias, variance ratio and correlation.
