There are currently four projectsinvolved in GLODAP. Cruises conducted as part of the World OceanCirculation Experiment (WOCE), Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS)and NOAA Ocean-Atmosphere Exchange Study (OACES) over the decade ofthe 90's have created an oceanographic database of unparalleledquality and quantity. These data provide an important asset to thescientific community investigating carbon cycling in the oceans. Thecentral objective of this project is to generate that unified data setand to determine the global distribution and inventories of inorganicnutrients, both natural and anthropogenic carbon species and naturaland bomb-produced radiocarbon. These estimates will be used to inferstochiometric remineralization ratios (Redfield ratios) and the rateof anthropogenic CO2 and bomb 14C uptake in the oceans. Theseestimates provide an important benchmark against which futureobservational studies will be compared. They also provide tools forthe direct evaluation of numerical ocean carbon models.For more information visit the GLODAP Home Page at:'http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/oceans/glodap/index.html'or contact:sabine&#64pmel.noaa.gov
