The. Advanced Research Inst i tute (ARI) on Dynamic Processes in
the Chemistry of the Upper OCean had its origins in discussions by
the NATO Special Programme Panel on Marine Sciences during 1978
when a wide range of topics for future ARIs was being considered.
What was then envisaged was a workshop on chemical aspects of the
oceanic mixed layer, at which consider ation would be given to the
inputs, cycling and removal of material, and the problems involved
in the quantitative assessment of fluxes. It was realised that any
attempt to model chemical processes would need the active
collaboration of workers from other fields, especially physical
oceano graphers concerned with air-sea interaction and turbulence,
and biological oceano raphers with expertise in primary
productivity and the cycling of particulate and dissolved organic
material. As plans for the ARI developed further a somewhat
different emphasis emerged, focused on the question as to how
chemists should set about observing an environment as variable and
dynamic as the upper ocean and selecting the appropriate scales for
the framework of measurements to study a particular process,
especially in the light of current knowledge of physical processes
of transport and mixing. It was plain that the capabil ity of
physical oceanographic methods to resolve differences on small
spatial and temporal scales is considerably ahead of the
capabilities of biologists and chemists who rely upon discrete
sampling and complex lab oratory manipulations in order to obtain
most of their data."
