| Description: | Climate and environmental change will have significant impacts on and feedbacks to biogeochemical cycling in the ocean, on atmospheric chemistry, and on chemical exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. These couplings include atmospheric deposition of nutrients that control marine biological activity and ocean carbon uptake, and emissions of trace gases and particles from the ocean and their influences on atmospheric chemistry and climate. The session will focus on a quantitative understanding of the linkage by in situ and remote observations, laboratory and field experiments, as well as on modeling studies conducted over the North and South Pacific Ocean. |
