Draft 8/26/02 A Report on the US JGOFS Workshop on Iron Dynamics in the Carbon Cycle
نویسندگان
چکیده
• To synthesize recent results from observational work and modeling efforts. To examine how models are currently incorporating iron dynamics, and to determine whether there is new information that could be used to improve parameterizations/representations in the models. To identify critical gaps in our knowledge of the marine iron cycle that are hampering modeling efforts, and to provide suggestions for future research.

Workshop Highlights Role of Iron Dynamics in the Carbon Cycle
The role of iron in regulating rates of carbon cycling and the accumulation of particulate organic carbon standing stocks has become increasingly apparent in the past 15 years. Incorporation of iron dynamics in biogeochemical models has dramatically improved our ability to simulate ecosystem processes in the oligotrophic regions of the world ocean. Basin to global scale models can now reproduce...
متن کاملThe US JGOFS Synthesis and Modeling Project – An introduction
The field data collected as part of the international Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) provide an unprecedented view of marine biogeochemistry and the ocean carbon cycle. Following the completion of a series of regional process studies, a global CO2 survey, and a decade of sampling at two open-ocean timeseries, US JGOFS initiated in 1997 a final research phase, the Synthesis and Modeling P...

Oceanography • Vol. 14 • No. 4/2001 In the early 1980s, ocean scientists were increasingly aware of the importance of biologically active elements, such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, in the regulation of climate and its effects on the habitability of the planet. As scientists reviewed details of the processes that control ocean carbon cycling and the links among oceanic, atmospheric and sedim...
متن کاملComputational Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibition of Four Quinoline Derivatives on Carbon Steel in Aqueous Phase
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods have been used to evaluate the efficiency of four quinoline derivatives on corrosion inhibition in the aqueous phase. Some quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), electrophilicity (w), polarizability (a), energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO), energy of th...

80W 60W 40W 20W 0 Modeling nutrient dynamics and carbon cycling in the ocean requires interdisciplinary research, combining geochemistry, biology, ecology and physics. All of these disciplines are represented in the U.S. JGOFS Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP). However it is probably fair to say that the SMP, child of the U.S. JGOFS process studies, has focused primarily on characterizing an...
