Project structure                                              

The scientific program is structured under three major themes together with two over-arching activities and four platforms that link these themes:
  • Theme 1: Climate relevant trace gas fluxes
  • Theme 2: Air-sea exchange processes and the surface microlayer
  • Theme 3: Oceanic responses to atmospheric drivers
Over-arching activities:
Platforms:
