| Brief Description | Isotopes are one of the most useful and innovative tools for understanding complex processes in the water cycle, paleoclimate and biogeochemistry on many timescales. iPILPS is a new type of PILPS |
| experiment in which the process of international intercomparison will educate the land-surface scheme (LSS) parameterization community while new aspects of LSS are being developed. | |
| A land-surface scheme (LSS) is an algorithm for determining the exchanges of energy, mass and momentum between the atmosphere and continents. | |
| iPILPS is a component of the current initiative to add isotopic (stable and radioactive) representation to atmospheric and land-surface models. | |
| The forcing data includes magnitudes of each isotope (1H2 18O and 1H2H16O) in precipitation and in water vapour at the atmospheric lowest level plus all the standard Assistance for Land-surface | |
| Modelling Activities (ALMA) meteorological forcing including 'regular' water (1H216O). Phase 1 included a Tropical Rainforest, at Manaus, Brazil (3'S 60'W). Forcing was provided at this location for four years. | |
| The experimental design directed each ILSS to use the first year's forcing repeatedly for as many years as that ILSS required to achieve equilibrium (this experimental component was designated EQY1), | |
| and then use the next three years' forcing to create three years' simulations (this 'Basin Comparison' was designated BC24). | |
