Work Program (2022-2032)

1. Develop algorithms to quantify carbon fluxes mediated by marine biosphere

     •  for plant species identification for the Indo-Pacific Ocean basins*

    •  for chromophoric dissolved organic carbon (matter) in each basin

    •  for plant pigments / particulate organic carbon in each basin

    •  for suspended inorganic particulate matter in each basin

    •  Modeling carbon flux in each basin*

2. Synthesis for the East Indian and the West Pacific Ocean

    •  Generate distribution maps for each basin*

3. Training session – one session a year

*GOCI-II full Disk areas: The Eastern Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal, Mid Indian Basin, West Australian Basin) and the west Pacific Ocean (Northwest Pacific Basin, Central Pacific Basin, Philippine Sea, West Mariana Basin, East Mariana Basin, West Caroline Basin, East Caroline Basin, Tasman Sea, Southwest Pacific Basin)
