JGOFS: a Retrospective View

  • Chapter
Ocean Biogeochemistry

Part of the book series: Global Change — The IGBP Series (closed) ((GLOBALCHANGE))

Abstract

The international JGOFS project was initiated in 1987 and carried out its first major process study in the North Atlantic in 1989. Since then major process studies have been made in the Equatorial Pacific, the Arabian Sea, the Southern Ocean, and the North Pacific, major time series have been initiated in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans, and a world-wide survey of ocean CO2 has been made in conjunction with WO CE. During the last couple of years the vast datasets from these activities have begun to be synthesised into a coherent picture of the carbon, and other element, cycles in the ocean. Early results of this synthesis are summarised in recent reviews (Field et al. 2000; Fasham et al. 2001) and are the subject of the chapters in this book. I do not intend to repeat here the scientific conclusions of these reviews but will look back over the last 15 years to give an overall survey of what work has been carried out by JGOFS, and discuss how well the goals and expectations of the original plans have been realised.
