This conference aims to bring together biological, ecological,
chemical, and physical oceanographers to discuss the influence of
meso-
and submesoscale ocean dynamics on the global carbon cycle and
marine ecosytem.
Scientific themes of the conference :
* Initial evidence for the importance of the submesoscale carbon
pump from computer simulations
* Theoretical predictions for submesoscale dynamics and its
implications for carbon uptake.
* New observational approaches to quantifying the contribution of
the submesoscale to global primary production.
* The broader perspective: the submesoscale contribution to the
global climate system, today and tomorrow.
* Ecosystems trophic structuration at sub-mesoscale.
* New technology and instrumentation.
