Terms of Reference

Revised in November 2021

  1. Coordinate and encourage ongoing and planned national and international syntheses of research studies regarding biogeochemical cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients in the North Pacific and, where necessary and appropriate, for the larger Pacific basin;
  2. Ensure effective two-way communication with other international scientific groups that have a responsibility for the coordination of ocean carbon-related biogeochemical studies, such as the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), Ship of Opportunity Project (SOOP/VOS), GO-SHIP/CO2 Repeat Hydrography and the SOLAS/IMBeR implementation group for carbon research;
  3. Review the existing information on biogeochemical cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients in the North Pacific, including anthropogenic carbon, the biological pump, impacts of ocean acidification and deoxygenation on marine biota, and possible feedbacks to atmospheric greenhouse gases; identify gaps in our knowledge, and make prioritized recommendations for future research;
  4. Periodically review the status of the methodology of measurements for the ocean carbon system, oxygen and nutrients, including the preparation of standards and reference materials, and sensor development, and advise on inter-calibration and quality control procedures;
  5. Identify suitable data sets on the oceanic biogeochemical system, including carbon, oxygen and nutrients in the Pacific region as they become available, and recommend the mechanisms of data and information exchange;
  6. Carry out and publish basin-scale syntheses of biogeochemical cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients in the North Pacific, including new data whenever appropriate, and encourage scientific interpretation of these evolving data sets;
  7. Organize symposia, workshops, or Annual Meeting sessions on the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients, ocean acidification, ocean deoxygenation, and other climate studies in the North Pacific.
  8. Enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration across climate, ocean biogeochemistry, biology and fisheries on issues such as the biological effects of ocean acidification and deoxygenation.
