S7: POC/MONITOR Topic Session (1 day, co-sponsored by Argo)
Application of global observing systems to physics, fisheries, and ecosystems

Co-Convenors: Michael G. Foreman (Canada), Vyacheslav B. Lobanov (Russia), Phillip R. Mundy (U.S.A.) and Sei-Ichi Saitoh (Japan)

Problems such as global climate change, carbon cycling, ocean circulation forecasting, and variability in biomass and fish abundance have necessitated a great increase in the variety and quantity of ocean measurements. In response to these growing demands, the last two decades have seen a proliferation of new technologies for remotely sensing the physical and chemical properties of oceans and the biological characteristics of organisms living in them. Noteworthy examples include the TOPEX/Poseidon/Jason and ERS/Envisat satellites for sea surface heights, SeaWiFS and MODIS for ocean colour, and Argo profiling floats for deep ocean velocities, temperatures and salinities. Technologies such as these allow interdisciplinary, near-realtime sampling of the global ocean with unprecedented resolution in time and space. In this session we welcome papers on the application of global observing systems to the description and better understanding of important physical, fishery, and ecosystem processes in the North Pacific Ocean.

Invited speakers:
Masafumi Kamachi (Meteorological Research Institute, Japan) - Data assimilation in the Pacific Ocean as an application of observing system to physical oceanography and climate research
Donald R. Kobayashi (Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S.A., and University of Technology, Sydney, Australia) - Application of satellite remotely sensed environmental data to pelagic larval transport, growth, and survival
Dean Roemmich (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U.S.A.) - The Argo Project: Observing the physical state of the ocean for broad applications in climate, including fisheries, and ecosystems impacts
