The GLAFO Project Office is based at the Institute of Physics and Meteorology (IPM), University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, where the Land Atmosphere Feedback observatory (LAFO)1 serves as the prototype for the GLAFO concept through its ongoing operation in the Land Atmosphere Feedback Initiative (LAFI).
The GLAFO Project Office coordinates a global, observation-driven effort to quantify land-atmosphere (L-A) interactions across all compartments – from bedrock to boundary layer. By enabling an international network of integrated observatories and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, GLAFO delivers the data and process understanding needed to improve model parameterizations and predictive skill.
