    "title": "NCEO Theme 2 Sub theme 6: Quantification of ocean biogeochemistry and carbon fluxes",
    "abstract": "Ocean colour (OC) or visible spectral radiometry deals with light re-emerging from the ocean after scattering and absorption of incident sunlight by particles, phytoplankton (energising photosynthesis), dissolved and detrital organic C compounds (from lysis, respiration and photo-chemical breakdown) and water.  Remotelysensed OC data provides an integrated quasi-steady state observation of the whole of the global ocean and all \r\ntypes of ocean environments (seasonally-variable nutrient & light climates): oligotrophic gyres; equatorial ecosystems; mid and high-latitude, seasonally-productive systems; highly-productive upwelling and convergent zones. Primary production (PP) derived from OC data gives an estimate of the total C sequestered by phytoplankton (~35-70 Gt C yr-1\r\n).  Hitherto EO-based PP models have used chlorophyll (Chla) as the state variable. New methods invoke Inherent Optical Properties (IOPs; the spectral absorption & \r\nbackscattering of the ocean).  Using IOP models and IOP-OC data, we will describe the pelagic ocean C-cycle, with improved PP models, re-cycling rates and respiration, to: \r\n(i) determine phytoplankton function types (PFTs) used in ecosystem models; (ii) provide parameter data for ecosystem models; (iii) partition the pelagic C-pool into particulate, dissolved, organic and inorganic components.",
