Abstract
The initial manifestations of climate change induced by the flow of anthropogenic carbon to the atmosphere are small. Extensive, regular and accurate observations are required to describe all of the important processes and to identify the long-term evolution of the climate system against a background of variability on a broad range of frequency. Due to its large inertia, the ocean plays a significant role in potential mechanisms of climate change and the ocean observing system should be expanded to provide continuous, long-term and basin-wide data sets.
