We are using ocean models to drive tracer and
biogeochemical models to
study biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. We are attempting to:
identify and understand the key processes that set the observed distributions and fluxes
of carbon and nutrients in the ocean and across the sea surface.
estimate carbon and nutrient fluxes in the ocean and the
rates and divergences of relevant bio-geochemical process
use tracers to extract quantitative information about the rates of communication between
the surface and the deep ocean.
