Workshop “Atmospheric monitoring <strong>and</strong> inverse modelling for verification of national <strong>and</strong> EU bottom-up GHG inventories” - reportWorkshop "Atmospheric monitoring <strong>and</strong> inverse modelling for verification of national <strong>and</strong> EU bottomupGHG inventories " - reportIMECC - Infrastructure for Measurement of the European CarbonCyclePeter RaynerLaboratoire des Sciences du Climat et l'Environnement (LSCE), Gif sur Yvette, FranceIMECC is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I 3 ) under the European Commission’s6th Framework Programme. IMECC aims to build the infrastructure for a coordinated,calibrated, integrated <strong>and</strong> accessible dataset for characterizing the function of theEuropean terrestrial biosphere.Web-site: www.imecc.orgIMECC’s main strategies are: Improving the comparability of atmospheric measurements of greenhouse gases<strong>and</strong> isotopic composition Coordinating optimal development of infrastructure via comprehensiveexperimental design studies Improving access to existing <strong>and</strong> future atmospheric <strong>and</strong> ecosystem data Coordinated data delivery centre Improving access to data on ecosystem parameters Tying European terrestrial data into emerging remotely-sensed datasets onatmospheric composition.IMECC contains three classes of activities: Networking Activities: Designed to improve cohesion, comparability <strong>and</strong> accessto European carbon cycle measurements Transnational Access Activities: Designed to broaden <strong>and</strong> improve access toEuropean carbon cycle measurement facilities Joint Research Activities: Designed to support new technologies for Europeancarbon cycle measurements21
