Abstract

The Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP) began in 1995 and is now in its 2nd, 3-year phase. What has motivated this effort?

Highlights

  • Group efforts began in 1995 when the Global, Analysis, Interpretation and Modeling Task Force (GAIM) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) initiated the Ocean Carbonocean models used to study of the global carbon cycle, as indicated by the number of models represented at panredviothuosseInptearrntaictiipoantainl gCOin2

  • That first phase (OCMIP-1) lasted 3 years (1995–1997), the end of which was marked by the 5th International CO2 Conference in Cairns (Orr et al, 1997a)

  • The focus remains on CO2, but Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP)-2 includes emphasis on new circulation tracers (e.g., CFCs), new biogeochemical tracers (e.g., O2), and new model validation data sets from WOCE and JGOFS
