Oceanographic Data are
- taken on site aboard ships.- Precious and Expensive.- containing “Facts” at the time of the observation.- obtained with methods varying with time, group, etc., and hence meta data are important.- suffering from under-sampling problem.

Under Global Climate Change Carbon Cycle in the Oceans is an important part of the Life Support System of the Planet Earth. Prediction of Variability is required.
In Old Good Days Most Carbon Cycle Studies were to get mechanistic understanding of the processes. And Qualitative, or semi-quantitative, description of the system was obtained.

Future Research on Biological and Chemical Aspectsof Global Change in the Ocean (Ocean Future)
Issue 1: What controls the time-varying biogeochemical state of the ocean system and how will itchange in response to Global Change?
Issue 2: How will marine food webs respond to Global Change?
Issue 3: How does the accumulation of carbon in the ocean respond to global environmental change?
International Workshop for GODAR WESTPAC
