•Difficult determinations
–pCO2 & NO3 have some hope via regression analyses
–DIC, DOC, f-ratio, BSi & export are less hopeful
–Aerosols obfuscate analyses of mineral dust loading
•Data assimilation
–Enables satellite data to direct model solutions
–Issues with using Chlorophyll (C/Chl, N/Chl ratio, etc.)
–Other products (POC, CDOM, etc.) are not used in models
