Towards a Model of Ocean Biogeochemical Processes by Geoffrey T. Evans, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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 book aims at achieving consensus among these controlling processes at all relevant time scales. It helps understand the global carbon cycle including the production and breakdown of solved 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 in global ocean models and related fields. | Towards a Model of Ocean Biogeochemical Processes by Geoffrey T.
