IRONAGES: EXECUTIVE PUBLISHABLE SUMMARY,
Description
Iron Resources and Oceanic Nutrients
Advancement of Global Environment Simulations
The
overall objective of the IRONAGES project is to develop new realistic OBCM's for budgeting and exchanges of both CO2 and DMS,
by implementing (i) co-limitation by 4 nutrients of
5 major taxonomic classes of phytoplankton, (ii) DMS(P)
pathways, (iii) global oceanic iron cycling, (iv) different chemical forms of
iron and (v) supply of iron from below and above into surface waters. The new
OBCM's will predict realistic climate scenario's, notably climatic feedbacks on oceanic
biogeochemistry.
