Implementation Groups (IMPs)
The Implementation Groups (IMPs) of SOLAS are charged with producing detailed plans of how to achieve the goals of SOLAS and then aiding the implementation of these plans. The goals are outlined in the Science Plan and Implementation Strategy, and the more detailed Implementation Plans have been produced by each group (click here).
There are three SOLAS IMPs, corresponding to the three science Foci, namely:
- IMP 1: Biogeochemical Interactions and Feedbacks Between Ocean and Atmosphere
- IMP 2: Exchange Processes at the Air-Sea Interface and the Role of Transport and Transformation in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Boundary Layers
- IMP 3: Air-Sea Flux of CO2 and Other Long-Lived Radiatively-Active Gases (SOLAS-IMBER Carbon Group, SIC)
The formal terms of reference of the group can be found here.
