Integrated ocean carbon research: A summary of ocean carbon research, and vision of coordinated ocean carbon research and observations for the next decade
(France: Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (UNESCO-IOC), 2021) Aricò, S; Arrieta, JM; Bakker, DC; Boyd, PW; Cotrim da Cunha, L; Chai, F; Dai, M; Gruber, N; Isensee, K; Monteiro, Pedro M
One of the major expectations from the Decade is a predicted ocean that relies on the integration of comprehensive modeling and sustainable ocean observing systems. Specific to climate change and ocean carbon, the Implementation Plan contains dedicated Ocean Decade Challenge 5: Enhance understanding of the ocean-climate nexus and use this understanding to generate solutions to mitigate, adapt and build resilience to the effects of climate change, and to improve services including improved predictions and forecasts for weather, climate, and the ocean. The IOC-R addresses key issues in ocean carbon research through a combined strategy of research and observational goals. The research will be framed by four key questions that were formulated at the inaugural Expert Workshop on Integrated Ocean Carbon Research at IOC-UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) headquarters in Paris, France on October 28-30, 2019.
