+          <p>ECCO version 4 has been used to calculate a uniform 20-year climatology as a time-mean over the period 1994-2013. The climatology is readily accessible as <a href="http://mit.ecco-group.org/opendap/diana/h8_i48/contents.html" target="blank">Matlab files</a>.
+Associated pictorial atlas and descriptions are available in the DSpace@MIT ECCO Community Collection long-term archive. So far these include:

+          <p><strong><br />Mar 2016: ECCO version 4, release 2 (ECCO v4-r2) now available online</strong></p>
+          <p>As compared with the earlier release, ECCO v4-r2 benefits from a few additional corrections as documented in <a href="http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/102062">this note</a>. ECCO v4-r2 (see <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/products.htm">products</a>) further includes the full suite of observational inputs and forcing fields, as well as an interpolated version of the state estimate fields (on a half degree lat-lon grid). The ECCO v4 model settings (see <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/model.htm">model</a>) have also been simplified to facilitate re-runs of the state estimate solution. This capability allows any user to generate model output that may not be available online (see the <a href="http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/*checkout*/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/eccov4.pdf">ECCO version 4 user guide</a>).
