GLASS is made of about 10 projects (LUMIP and DICE/GABLS are retired), that are clustered in 3 topical areas:

Processes:

LoCo (Joe Santanello NASA lead) include several field campaigns (GRAINEX, LAFE, LIASE 2021, FESSTVal 2021) good uptake of coupling diagnostics

GLAFO (Volker Wulfmeyer, Stuttgart lead of GLA Feedback Observatories) include turbulence & PBL observations (lidar), there are few major EU site (Hohenheim, Lindenberg, Cabauw, Payerne, Chilbolton in Europe).

SoilWat (Yijian Zeng Twente & Anne Verhoef UoR) with focus on pedotransfer and links to soil properties and root distribution. SP-MIP has interesting results. A 3m soil is clearly not enough. GlobTemp ESA can be used.

Benchmarking:

PLUMBER2 & PALS (modelevaluation.org) and ILAMB (now under PALS

for global runs, interesting for CP to participate Souhail Boussetta). A new paper documenting the site just published Ukkola et al. 2022. 

Intercomparison: 

GSWP3 and LSMIP3 are ongoing. There are 4 new initiatives.

Irrigation effort (LIAISE and GRAINEX) got a boost in 2021 thanks to the Irrigation workshop.

CLASP (Coupling Land Atmosphere Subgrid Parameterisations) focus on PBL & land heterogeneity, using LES. Origin US.

SIFMIP (Solar Induced Fluorescence MIP) aiming at Carbon/Water interactions. SIF nicely linked to transpiration. Parazoo et al. 2020 set the scene for Phase-I. Phase-II expanding on diurnal, synoptic, seasonal evaluation which can be interesting for usAnna Agusti-Panareda. Nick Parazoo (JPL) is coordinating the SIF benchmarking.
