General description

The Carbon data model framework (CARDAMOM) is a Bayesian inference approach for using terrestrial ecosystem observations to optimize terrestrial carbon cycle model states and processes parameters. The manual can be found here (https://cardamom-framework.github.io/CARDAMOM). The CARDAMOM code presented here is the culmination of a grassroots model development effort undertaken across multiple institutions, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California Institute for Technology), University of Edinburgh, Stanford University and University of California Santa Barbara. The CARDAMOM framework code provided here (https://github.com/CARDAMOM-framework/CARDAMOM) was used in its original version in Bloom et al. (2020), Quetin et al., (2020), Yin et al. (2020), Famiglietti et al., (2021), and a number of more recent efforts, and remains backward compatible with Bloom et al., (2016).

The Data Assimilation Linked Ecosystem Carbon (DALEC) model used in CARDAMOM is described in Williams et al. (2005). Additional information and references for individual DALEC versions and module components are provided throughout the code.

Updates to CARDAMOM are publicly available at https://github.com/CARDAMOM-framework/CARDAMOM as "read-only" github repositories. If you wish to collaborate with the CARDAMOM development team or contribute to the CARDAMOM code release, we encourage you to communicate with the points of contact (above).

For the University of Edinburgh/NCEO (UK) CARDAMOM code (used in Exbrayat et al., 2018, Smallman et al., 2021, Famiglietti et al., 2021, and references therein), the code is available at https://github.com/GCEL/CARDAMOM; contact Luke Smallman (t . l . smallman @ ed . ac . uk) and Mathew Williams (Mat . Williams @ ed . ac . uk) for access.

For general information on the scientific applications of both CARDAMOM frameworks, we refer users to aforementioned papers.
