Description Studies on marine biogeochemical cycles form an important component in coupled ocean-atmosphere models for climate studies. The major challenges in marine biogeochemical modelling are the identification of the ecosystem compartments and the underlying biogeochemical processes and their parametrizations, model-data comparisons and data assimilation studies. As a part of these studies, 3D simulations based on the biological model of Fasham et al. (1990) and chemical model of Peng et al. (1987) coupled to a physical oceanographic model (Sarmiento et al., 1993) were performed at CMMACS for different sets of parameter values for the biological model. The simulation results are compared with BOBPS cruise data and SeaWiFS data. We report here the results of the effect of biology and the sensitivity of the parameter values of the biolgical model in the estimation of carbon flux across air-sea interface in Bay of Bengal.
