SOLAS WCRP Michel Rixen The Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) is a multidisciplinary and global-scale research programme, with a goal to achieve quantitative understanding of the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere, and how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change. SOLAS is an IGBP core project sponsored by SCOR, IGBP, CACGP and WCRP.
