The second jointly organised SOFIE workshop was once again held in Paris, France and focused on finalizing the Radiative Forcing paper (to be submitted later this year) along with topics on Urbanisation and Climate as related to urban scale inversion models at regional scales and dense CO2 measurement networks. Student presentations were held on day two. Futher presentations regarding joint projects with a emphasis on high latitude regions and surface processes rounded up the last day.

A jointly organized SOFIE workshop in Paris was held October 1st and 2nd in order to prepare a new manuscript assessing the radiative forcing budget of China. Dr. Bengang Li will lead the paper with strong collaboration from both PKU and French scientists from the LSCE, LMD and the CNRS. The prime focus and novelty of this paper will include radiative forcing calculation, IPCC styles for gases, land use change and aerosols and include, wherever possible new emission and sink data.

In this teleconference between LSCE and PKU on July 06, 2012, we discussed the progress of radiative forcing in China research project and students presentations. Prof. Shilong Piao and Prof. Bengang Li from PKU introduced the progress of the radiative forcing project in China. Shushi Peng introduced the progress of datasets on methane emissions in China from 1981 to 2010. Then, methane emission datasets problems and improvements were discussed. After that, Dr. Tao Wang and Dr. Kun Tan gave their presentations about their progresses on corresponding research projects.

In this teleconference between LSCE and PKU on June 24th, 2012, the project of radiative forcing in China was fully discussed. First, Prof. Bengang Li from PKU introduced the plan of the radiative forcing project. The research contents and schedule was fixed. Then, the mainly mission was the fine resolution datasets of GHGs inventory emissions. Finally, Rong Wang, Jingfeng Chang and Chao Yue gave their presentations about their progresses on corresponding research projects.

The second video conference between LSCE and PKU on September 15th, 2011, primarily addressed the progress of scientific research after the first teleconference in June. First, Dr. Junfeng Liu showed his progress of aerosol research (detailed information in the attached Junfeng.Liu-aerosol-co2_2nd.pdf). Second, Rong Wang showed black carbon emission map in China and validation progress. Dr. Balkanski mentioned the good news of IPSL model capture the monsoon of East Asia and could address the aerosols questions with modeling work. Third, Xuhui showed the progress on the agriculture modeling work and discussed the next plan with Dr. Viovy and Dr. Ciais. At last, Dr. Ciais and Dr. Piao discussed the schedule of winter school (round the first week of February in 2012) and Ms. Cecilia discussed the progress of official documents with Dr. Piao.

The first video conference between LSCE and PKU was held on June 24th, 2011. In the one hour discussion, impacts of aerosols on climate and carbon cycle were fully discussed. First, Dr. Liu Junfeng from PKU introduced his research plan on aerosols and climate interactions. Then, the detailed scientific questions about aerosols and model simulation design were discussed, especially on the indirect and direct impacts of aerosol on carbon cycle. Next, Rong Wang presented his latest results about high spatial resolution map of black carbon emission and current problems use of the map and transport modeling. After that, potential interesting questions about black carbon with AR5 modeling were discussed. In addition, the schedule of summer school project and next video conference meeting were confirmed.

A kick-off meeting was held at LSCE, France on February 15 and 16, 2011. A Chinese delegation comprising several members of Peking University (PKU) visited the LSCE and UVSQ institutes. Several scientific and programmatic presentations were given during the two-day meeting. The meeting agenda, meeting minutes and presentations can be downloaded below.
