GREENVELOPES: Project publication in Geoscientific Model Development

The publication by Aurélien Mirebeau (Meteo France) describes the development of a module for simulating CO2 exchange and carbon sequestration of green roofs for the urban microclimate model TEB (Town Energy Balance model). This is a further development of the green roof module previously used for water and energy exchange. The study uses the CO2 fluxes measured on the green roof BER in Berlin using eddy covariance to evaluate the model results.
