NMIP

The Global Nitrogen Model Inter-comparison Project Protocol

NMIP (The global Nitrogen/N2O Model Inter-comparison Project) is an international partnership of model-model and data-model intercomparison under the umbrella of the Global Carbon Project (GCP) and International Nitrogen Initiative (INI).

Goals

• The Primary Goal of the NMIP-2 is to focus on the quantification and attribution of N2O emissions, which includes the objectives as follows: 1) to provide more reliable estimates of regional (and/or national) and global soil N2O emissions with an update to the year 2019/2020, covering a period of 1850-2020, 2) to attribute soil N2O emissions to anthropogenic nitrogen addition and other factors, and 3) to provide an estimate of indirect N2O emission from N leaching to inland water systems (River, Lakes and Reservoir)
• The Secondary Goal of NMIP-2 is to better understand the terrestrial nitrogen cycle and its interactions with other factors, which includes the objective as follows: 1) to provide an assessment of the global terrestrial nitrogen budget, 2) to understand and quantify N-Nexus: how do anthropogenic N inputs affect carbon (C sink), water (N loading), air (NH3 and NOx) and crop yield
