    Data on the spatial and temporal distribution of carbon sources and sinks in the terrestrial biosphere are needed by both the scientific and the policy communities working on climate change issues. To gather the necessary data on the Terrestrial Carbon Observations (TCO) initiative was launched in 1999 by the Integrated Global Observing Strategy Partnership (IGOS-P). It is a component of the Integrated Global Carbon Observations (IGCO) theme which also includes the ocean and atmosphere. The conc ept behind TCO is to focus on assembling and generating terrestrial carbon data using in situ (ground based) and satellite data in combination with a number of climate models in order to obtain a more accurate understanding of global stocks and fluxes. The in situ component is complex and much less organized at the global level than the satellite component. To accelarate the preparations for TCO implementation, GTOS with International Geosphere - Biosphere Programme (IGBP) held a workshop specif ically addressing in situ data issues. This report summarizes the workshop objectives and the discussions, conclusions and recommendations made by te internatinal carbon experts who attended the meeting.

    In response to an increasing interest in terrestrial carbon, and following a proposal led by the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), the Integrated Global Observing Strategy Partnership (IGOS-P) approved the "terrestrial carbon cycle" as its second major theme in November 1999. This report presents the results of a follow-up Terrestrial Carbon Observation (TCO) Synthesis Workshop, organized by GTOS in collaboration with the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and other IGO S-P members on 8-11 February 2000 in Ottawa, Canada. The workshop was designated to summarize existing information and observation requirements regarding terrestrial carbon, conduct initial evaluation of existing data or observations in relation to the requirements, identify major gaps or deficiencies and propose solutions.
