A multidisciplinary approach is needed to formulate responses to questions related to variations of physical climate system on ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystems. This exploratory training workshop intends to increase the interactions between physical climate science and marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems communities with focus on impacts of climate variability on the marine environment. The training workshop is aimed at young marine scientists to increase their knowledge on the existing climate data, to evaluate their relevance for biogeochemical and ecosystem studies and to judge of their quality (uncertainties).

The goals of this training are:
To increase the interactions between physical climate science and marine biogeochemistry/ecosystems communities with focus on impacts of climate variability on the marine environment;
To foster cooperation between physical climate scientists and marine scientists;
To take stock of IPCC 4AR results, ocean/atmosphere reanalysis data, observational data where relevant for impacts on the marine environment.
