| Abstract: | Parameter
sensitivity studies are done at C-MMACS using a 3D coupled
physical-biological-chemical model of the oceanic carbon cycle. This model is
evaluated by using U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Studies (U.S. JGOFS) data,
satellite data and buoy data for different values of a few of the parameters
which influence the regeneration of ammonium and growth of zooplankton and
hence the carbon flux across the air-sea interface. Important processes which
affect the primary productivity and chlorophyll have been identified. A set of
ecosystem parameters which have great potential for studying the marine
productivity and carbon dioxide transfer in the Indian Ocean have been isolated
in this study. |
