Peng, Tsung-Hung

The traveler attended the International Meeting on Modeling the Physics, Biology and Chemistry of the Upper Ocean and Its Interaction with the Atmosphere in London, England, and presented a lecture entitled Modeling the Seasonality of CO{sub 2} in the North Atlantic.'' This international meeting was jointly sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme and the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study. Most lectures focused on the modeling of the upper ocean, with a particular emphasis in the area of marine biology and marine ecosystems. Models ranged from simple box ocean models to general circulation models. A total of 16 papers were presented in this two-day conference. At the end of the conference, it became clear that a better understanding of global change in climate atmospheric CO{sub 2} variations requires a closer link between the studies of marine biology and ocean physics and chemistry.
