Book Description

"The role of C02 and the cycling of carbon through the earth's oceans and atmosphere have been focal points in the discussion of the effect of humanity on the earth. The sources, sinks, and cycling mechanisms of C02 are important, and still widely disputed, variables in both their potential for affecting the earth's climate and in the development of accurate models of ocean circulation. The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) is pleased to present the attendees of the Second Scientific Meeting of The Oceanography Society with this special publication, C02 Transport and Transformation in the Ocean. This publication provides a list of recent reference works about C02 transport, which were found by searching several online files and several CD-ROM products available at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Library"--Introduction
