(The role of oceans in determining atmospheric CO sub 2 )
J.L. Sarmiento presented two papers at the Third International Conference on Analysis of Atmospheric CO{sub 2} Data Present and Past. The first paper, On the Role of the Oceans in Determining Atmospheric CO{sub 2},''concerned primarily the work that is being carried out in collaboration with M.J.R. Fasham on the development of ecosystem models for predicting the possible role of changes in the biological cycling of carbon in affecting atmospheric CO{sub 2} levels. The second paper, 3-D Ocean Models of Anthropogenic CO{sub 2} Uptake,'' concerned the work being carried out in collaboration with U. Siegenthaler on simulating the uptake of anthropogenic CO{sub 2} by the oceans in the absence of any changes in the biology. Sarmiento also met with Siegenthaler to plan a future series of oceanic anthropogenic CO{sub 2} uptake experiments and listened to a series of presentations on recent work in this area, of which the atmospheric measurements and models were of considerable value. The International Geosphere-Biosphere Program Panel 5 meeting was held in order to work on the draft of a plan for modeling as part of this program.
