海洋における様々な時空間スケールでの水塊混合、化学物質の種類や量、海洋微生物の活動度が大気中の生物起源ガスやエアロゾルの生成を駆動することが知られているが、一連のプロセスや生成量の詳細は未解明な点が多い。さらに、海洋大気中の生物起源ガスやエアロゾルは、大気化学反応を介して、雲生成と放射収支や海洋－大気間の炭素・窒素循環に関わり、海洋微生物の活動にフィードバックすると考えられる。本セッションでは、海洋混合・物質循環、植物プランクトン・微生物増殖、揮発性有機化合物（VOCs）・海洋大気エアロゾル生成、炭素循環など海洋から大気に至る一連の分野横断的な研究、国際コアプロジェクトSurface Ocean–Lower Atmosphere Study（SOLAS）に関わる内容も含め、海洋－大気間の生物地球化学的な相互作用を含むプロセスの議論および理解を目指す。 

Multi-scale vertical and horizontal ocean mixing processes can strongly influence the distribution of dissolved and suspended substances including macro- and micro-nutrients, and may impact on the global carbon cycles. The changes in nutrient dynamics generally affect the abundance, composition and metabolic activity of marine organisms such as phytoplankton and bacteria during the bloom. Marine phytoplankton can produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and marine atmospheric aerosols, which strongly influence on atmospheric chemistry. Primary and secondary organic and inorganic components produced via marine phytoplankton activity can contribute to the Earth's radiative forcing, and in turn marine ecosystems including biogeochemical processes directly or indirectly. Therefore, the biogeochemical cycles have a tight linkage between the ocean and the atmosphere. In order to understand physical, chemical and biological processes relevant to phytoplankton bloom formation in the ocean, dynamics of VOCs and marine aerosols in the atmosphere, and the biogeochemical linkage between the ocean and the atmosphere, we welcome new interdisciplinary presentations and active discussions on physical, chemical, and biological sciences both from ocean and atmospheric fields in this session. Studies linked to the Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) project are good examples, but other related studies are also invited.
