Ocean Biogeochemical Fluxes - New Production And Export Of Organic-Matter From The Upper Ocean
Studies of ocean biogeochemical fluxes have been energized in this decade, by the urgency of our need to understand and predict the effects of continued CO2accumulation in the atmosphere, by the global perspectives offered by satellite views of ocean color and related physical fields (McClain et al....
