[en] The lecture is subdivided into two parts. The first one deals with the essence of modelling, with the main principles and stages of development. The procedure of model development will be exemplified on the basis of a practical question. During this first part, a number of concepts and parameters that are important for the particular case of ocean carbon cycle modelling are already introduced. In the second part, we further deepen these. We explore the main physical and biogeochemical processes that are important to understand how the carbon cycle operates in the world ocean and provide insight into the way they are represented in different types of models currently used.
