This proposal from Dr. Brewer, Chairman of the GOFS Steering Committee, is to support a continuing effort in planning and developing GOFS. A major ocean flux program has been identified as a vital component of the NSF Global Geosciences Initiative and, specifically, of the NSF/OCE long range plan by the NSF's Advisory Committee on Ocean Sciences. Similar programs now being established in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom will necessitate international planning and cooperation. The initial steps towards a Global Ocean Flux Study took place in early 1984, being supported by the National Academy of Sciences. A meeting of experts was held February 14-16 in Washington, DC to consider the feasibility of developing a program which would link the established large scale physical programs and understanding of the ocean to the emerging understanding of the chemical and biological fluxes which do much to maintain the habitability of our planet. Recommendations from this NAS expert group led to a Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS) Workshop, at the National Academy's Woods Hole Study Center, in September 1984. The workshop proceedings (NAS 1985) have been published and widely distributed within the international ocean science community. Following the GOFS Workshop, a small group (Drs. P. Brewer, WHOI; K. Bruland, UCSC; P. Jumars, U.W.; and J. McCarthy, Harvard) met twice in Washington, DC to edit the workshop proceedings and to examine how best to proceed with the workshop recommendations. This latter group has evolved into an Executive Committee which has since worked hard to bring such a program closer to reality. These efforts include public presentations to government agencies, the preparation of a proposal and the holding of numerous scientific meetings to further progress. A steering committee charged with overall program guidance has also been established.

这项建议来自GOFS指导委员会主席Brewer博士，旨在支持在规划和发展GOFS方面的持续努力。国家科学基金会海洋科学咨询委员会确定了一个主要的海洋通量计划，作为国家科学基金会全球地球科学倡议的重要组成部分，特别是国家科学基金会/OCE长期计划的重要组成部分。加拿大、法国、德国、日本和英国正在建立类似的项目，这将需要国际规划和合作。在美国国家科学院的支持下，1984年初开始了进行全球海洋通量研究的初步步骤。2月14日至16日在华盛顿特区举行了一次专家会议，审议制定一项计划的可行性，该计划将把已建立的大规模物理计划和对海洋的理解与对化学和生物流动的新兴理解联系起来，这些流动对维持我们星球的宜居性起着重要作用。这个国家科学院专家组的建议促成了1984年9月在国家科学院伍兹霍尔研究中心举行的全球海洋通量研究讲习班。研讨会论文集（NAS 1985）已出版并在国际海洋科学界广泛分发。在GOFS研讨会之后，一个小组(dr。P. Brewer， WHOI；UCSC的K. Bruland；P. Jumars, uw；和J. McCarthy，哈佛)在华盛顿特区举行了两次会议，以编辑研讨会的会议记录，并研究如何最好地推进研讨会的建议。后一个小组已演变成一个执行委员会，此后一直努力使这一计划更接近现实。这些努力包括向政府机构公开介绍，准备一项提案，以及举行许多科学会议以进一步取得进展。还设立了一个负责全面方案指导的指导委员会。
