OM31A:
Development and Advances of Modeling and Forecasting Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems I


Session ID#: 37822

Session Description:
Global warming, ocean acidification, eutrophication, deoxygenation, as well as the ongoing exploitation of marine resources drive major changes in marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems. Over the past decade, a considerable community effort has been put in the development of biogeochemical ocean models to analyze and study these potential changes. With recent advancements in in-situ monitoring, remote sensing and high-resolution circulation models, there is an increasing demand for the development of a predictive capability for ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystems on time scales ranging from days to seasons to better monitor and forecast changes relevant to resource management purposes. Especially, the rapid expansion of ocean observing capabilities such as Argo floats, Bio-Argo floats, gliders, geo-stationary satellite etc. has significantly improved data frequency and coverage both in time and space, allowing the improved constraints on ecosystem models to the development of operational system. In this session, we welcome contributions from any discipline that examine topics on advances and developments in marine ecosystem predictions. Researches that address biogeochemical modelling approaches, development of operational systems, biogeochemical data validation and assimilation, and physical-biogeochemical coupling are particularly encouraged for submission.
