| description | Mass of carbon that has been intentionally sequestered in geologic storage. The definition of geologic storage here is that it be stored for periods of time that are long as compared to the simulation. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time |
| modelling_realm | Land Surface |
| name | Lmon.cGeologicStorage |
| physical_parameter | cGeologicStorage (Carbon Mass in Geologic Storage) |
| processing_note | This variable should only contain carbon that is stored through processes that are represented by the Earth system model itself, not carbon that is stored solely on the basis of a forcing dataset. For example, if an ESM represents biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) as a prognostic process, then the resulting carbon storage would be included here; whereas if a process like direct air capture (DAC) is represented solely as a negative carbon emissions flux in the scenario forcing dataset, then it would not be included here. |
