E-mail Announcements Subject: Two Special Sessions for OS2002 Announced #1 We have had a special session on "Synthesis of Pacific Ocean Carbon Cycle Research" approved for the February ocean sciences meeting in Hawaii. I have attached the abstract for the session if you would like to advertise it to the JGOFS community. We do not have a session number yet, but it will be posted at the AGU web site soon. Thanks, Chris A special session proposed for the ocean sciences section of the 2002 Ocean Sciences Meeting Synthesis of Pacific Ocean Carbon Cycle Research Several recent WOCE and JGOFS synthesis efforts have been focusing on the Pacific Ocean. In addition, there is a growing collection of time-series and ship of opportunity data that suggest that the Pacific is a dynamic and variable environment that is still not well understood today. International organizations, like JGOFS, PICES, and GLOBEC, have been working to understand changes in the physics and biogeochemistry of the North Pacific and the relations to recent shifts in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Many of the observational studies have been complimented by regional and global modeling efforts. These studies are yielding new insights into the regional distribution of natural and anthropogenic carbon as well as other important biogeochemical processes in the Pacific. We invite the contribution of papers analyzing observations or model results in the context of the regional to basin-scale ocean carbon cycle in the Pacific. Contributions on non-carbon tracers are encouraged if they relate to processes or relations that are important to the carbon cycle. Papers may focus on past, present, or future functioning of the Pacific carbon cycle, and may employ any level of model complexity or model/data association.

Friends of the Arabian Sea: The AGU/ASLO Ocean Sciences Meeting
to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, during February 11-15, 2002, will
contain a special session devoted to the Arabian Sea. Please consider
contributing your newest insights to this session. Here is the description:
Synthesis of the Arabian Sea Expeditions This session invites contributions
for any investigations of the Arabian Sea: observational or modeling
results directed at biogeochemistry, physical forcing, ecosystem
structure or paleoceanography. The intensive field and modeling
programs of the last decade provide a rich data source of international
scope which has not been fully exploited. Interdisciplinary syntheses
and international collaborations addressing new questions or unsolved
problems are especially encouraged. |
