SOLAS research aims to understand the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere. Achievement of this goal is important to understand and quantify the role that ocean-atmosphere interactions play in the regulation of climate and global change...
Under the Science Council of Japan/Future Earth/World Climate Research Programme, the SOLAS-Japan National Committee is overseeing and supporting SOLAS-related activities in Japan. Topics on SOLAS-relevant studies in Japan include: Air-Sea Exchange of Greenhouse Gases, Ocean Acidification, Impact of Sea Surface Microlayer on Atmospheric Chemistry, Supply of Trace Elements from the Atmosphere to Ocean via Deposition Processes, Formation of Marine Atmospheric Aerosols and their Impact on Cloud Formation, Nitrogen Fixation, etc.
