New scientific insights and technological advancements in marine time series
Session ID#: 256132
Session Description:
The ocean is critical for both the Earth’s climate and its elemental balance. Ongoing environmental change is altering the physical, chemical, and biological functioning of the ocean on a range of temporal and spatial scales, which will affect the global elemental cycles, and impact the transport of heat and other climatically important tracers. Due to its dynamic nature, signals of environmental change are often obscured by natural variability on a range of time scales. To tease apart natural variability from any long-term change and validate climate models, we need consistent and comparable repeated physical, biogeochemical, and ecological observations over many decades. Conversely, any mitigation efforts can only be validated by a thorough understanding of the natural variability of a given marine system.
This session aims to bring together a wide range of research centered on marine time-series. We cover different sampling frequencies, lengths, and geographical range. We welcome contributions in the fields of physics, biology, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem monitoring, as well as time-series based modeling studies. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary studies, novel monitoring techniques and variables, and those which illustrate the importance of ocean time series to the detection of climate signals.
