Overview

Key biogeochemical events in the ocean take place in less than a second, are studied in experiments lasting a few hours, and determine cycles that last over seasons or even years. Models of the controlling processes thus have to take into account these time scales. This text aims at achieving consensus among these controlling processes at all relevant time scales. It aims to provide an understanding of the global carbon cycle, including the production and breakdown of dissolved organic matter and the production, sinking and breakdown of particles. The emphasis on considering all time scales in submodel formulation is new and of interest to all those working with global ocean models and in related fields.
