Description: Variations in ocean biogeochemistry and ecology are a product of numerous concurrent processes operating over a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. Given the prominent influence of interannual and decadal climate cycles, repeated, long-term observations are essential to differentiate natural variability from anthropogenic changes in marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems, including the biological carbon pump; this will improve our capacity of predicting ocean response to future changes and associated impacts on marine ecosystem services. Advances in measurement techniques have opened new avenues for studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of marine biogeochemical and ecological variables, and furthered research on the underlying mechanisms of the ocean’s biological carbon pump. Coupling in situ ocean measurements with remote sensing (satellites and airborne) observations that provide a more synoptic view of the ocean offers the unique opportunity to place in situ data sets at regional scales in a global context. This session will highlight research that couples biogeochemical and ecological observations from in situ and remote sensing platforms, as well as incorporate new technological advances, with the aim of improved understanding of ocean change through a multiscale approach, and specifically towards quantifying and investigating the biological carbon pump.

This Guide was originally prepared at the request, and with the active participation, of a science team formed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to carry out the first global survey of carbon dioxide in the oceans (DOE. 1994. Handbook of methods for the analysis of the various parameters of the carbon dioxide system in sea water; version 2, A.G. Dickson and C. Goyet, Eds. ORNL/CDIAC-74). The manual has been updated several times since, and the current version contains the most up-to-date information available on the chemistry of CO₂ in sea water and the methodology of determining carbon system parameters. This revision has been made possible by the generous support of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), the Scientific Committee on Ocean Research (SCOR), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Committee (IOC) and DOE through the Carbon Dioxide Information and Analysis Center (CDIAC).

A joint project of Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO and an affiliate program of the Global Carbon Project.

Terms of Reference

Approved at the XII Session of the SSG, 6-7 February 2017, Miami, USA

The International Ocean Carbon and biogeochemistry Coordination Project (IOCCP) promotes the development of a global network of ocean carbon and biogeochemistry observations, coordinates the development of globally acceptable strategies and provides technical coordination developing operating methodologies, practices and standards, homogenizing efforts of the research community and scientific advisory groups. IOCCP also provides communication services for marine biogeochemistry community as well as advocacy and links to a multidisciplinary sustained global observing system. 

Here we consider the term biogeochemistry to include the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) for Biogeochemistry. These EOVs enable the understanding and quantification of the following phenomena: ocean acidification, ocean deoxygenation, eutrophication, exchanges between the atmosphere, surface ocean and deep ocean, and carbon and nutrient remineralization and sequestration.
