Ocean-atmosphere interface
Text-only     Printer-friendly version             
Introduction
 
Two very thin skins of fluid cover the surface of our planet: a low density layer consisting mainly of gases (our atmosphere), and a higher density layer consisting mainly of water (our oceans). However the two layers are not completely distinct, and exchanges of water, gases, particulate matter, heat and momentum are continually taking place across the interface between them. These exchanges have a profound effect on the development of our weather systems, and in the longer term, the progress of climate variability and change. Explore the sub-topics to learn more about this fascinating interface. (Meteosat image copyright Eumetsat)

TitleEuropean Project on Ocean Acidification  ( PROJECT )
Project SummaryThe “European Project of Ocean Acidification” (EPOCA) is the EU initiative to investigate “Ocean acidification and its consequences”. After its favorable evaluation, it should start in May 2008 for a period of 4 years. The kick off meeting will take place in Nice (France) on 10-13 June 2008. The overall goal of EPOCA is to fill the numerous gaps in our understanding of the effects and implications of ocean acidification. The project comprises 16 work packages. The EPOCA consortium comprises 105 PIs from 29 laboratories located in 9 countries. It is coordinated by Jean-Pierre Gattuso assisted by an Executive Board (Fabrice Berthier, Jelle Bijma, Marion Gehlen, Ulf Riebesell and Carol Turley).
