About SOLAS

The International SOLAS (Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study) Project is an international research initiative comprising of over 1600 scientists in 75 countries.
The SOLAS International Project Office (IPO) is based in Norwich in the United Kingdom, and the IPO coordinates and communicates with research teams all over the world.
The projects primary objective is: "To achieve quantitative understanding of the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere, and of how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change."

Our foci:

-Focus 1: Biogeochemical Interaction and Feedbacks between Ocean and Atmosphere

-Focus 2: Exchange Processes at the Air-Sea Interface and Role of Transport and Transformation of Atmospheric and Oceanic Boundary Layers

-Focus 3: Air-Sea Fluxes of CO2 and Other Long-Lived Radiatively-Active Gases- Joint SOLAS IMBER Carbon Group
