Building the capacity for forecasting marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems: recent advances and future developments

摘要: Building the capacity for monitoring and forecasting marine biogeochemistry ecosystem dynamics is a scientific challenge of strategic importance in context rapid environmental change growing public awareness its potential impacts on ecosystems resources. National Operational Oceanography centres have started to take up this by integrating operational systems. Ongoing activities are illustrated paper presenting examples (pre-)operational biogeochemical systems active Europe North America global regional applications. First-order principles underlying modelling briefly introduced along with description components implemented these Applications from fields hindcasting ocean primary production, assessment carbon cycle management living Despite significant progress over past 5 years into data-assimilation systems, sustained research effort still needed assess their products respect usefulness
