The project CARINA (carbon
dioxide in the Atlantic Ocean) emerged from a workshop on "CO2 in the northern North Atlantic", that was held in
June 1999 in Delmenhorst, Germany ( overview).
Objectives are:
to bring together
research groups that measure CO2 in the
Atlantic Ocean ( CARINA
partners)
to create an inventory
of CO2-measurements carried out in the
Atlantic Ocean ( data
inventory)
to make available also
yet unpublished data to the data contributors (data
access).
to form working groups,
that cooperate on various aspects of the CO2 system in the Atlantic ( working
groups)
to exchange actual
information concerning CO2 research in
the Atlantic and assist in future cooperation ( info
board)
The CARINA
logo symbolizes the idea, that putting together
many single pieces of a puzzle (CO2 measurements of individual groups)
eventually leads to a complete picture (of the CO2-system in the Atlantic).
