SMP NEWSLETTER - SPRING 2003
Jorge Sarmiento and Taro Takahashi were among the newly elected Fellows selected by the AGU Fellows Committee on Saturday, 25 January. CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH!
2. Survey of SMP accomplishments
Following John Dunne's very interesting survey of SMP PIs about "How the SMP has done", we have posted a web-based follow-up survey online. Please provide us your feedback. Your responses - which should take about 10 minutes - will help guide future ocean carbon cycle programs.
3. EqPac Report
A report is now available for the Equatorial Pacific Synthesis and Modelling Workshop chaired by Fei Chair and Robert Le Borgne. The meeting was held Sep 17-19, 2003, at Darling Marine Center at the University of Maine. The report summarizes the results of the meeting, and also provides links to powerpoint presentations at the meeting.
The Final US JGOFS Open Science Conference, is rapidly approaching (May 5-8, 2003). Don't forget to sign up!
5. SMP SUMMER MEETING 2003 - FORMAT & CALL FOR INPUT
We have been receiving valuable input from investigators on meeting format and themes. This and other information are made available at: http://usjgofs.whoi.edu/mzweb/whoi_agenda_2003.htmlWe will continue to accept comments until April 1, then will digest the comments and put together the final agenda.
6. Update on the SMP Special Issue:
March 15 is the deadline for authors to send in revised manuscripts. We expect the final manuscript count to be 12-16. We are now preparing to get the final papers to the DSR II editor.
7. SMP Management Change
J Kleypas has accepted another position at NCAR, and will effectively be leaving her position with the SMP on April 4; although she will remain involved with the SMP meeting this summer, and with various other wrap-up activities. Her duties will be taken up by Ivan Lima and Jeff Dusenberry, two very capable members of Scott Doney's team at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
8. REMINDER - send in your SMP DATA!
If you have not yet submitted your SMP data to the US JGOFS Program, you should contact me to discuss the best way to do this (kleypas@ucar.edu).
Check the inventory of SMP data for the status of data submission for each project.
