<td rowspan="2"><p>ECCO was established in 1998 as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (<A href="http://woce.nodc.noaa.gov/wdiu/">WOCE</A>) with the goal of combining a general circulation model (GCM) with diverse observations in order to produce a quantitative depiction of the time-evolving global ocean state. The importance of such an endeavor is recognized by numerous national and international organizations, such as the WMO's World Climate Research Programme (<A href="http://wcrp.wmo.int/">WCRP</A>) and UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Comission (<A href="http://ioc.unesco.org/">IOC</A>). These programs have all noted the necessity of synthesizing the diverse remotely-sensed and in-situ observations with known dynamics and thermodynamics through a GCM. ECCO products are in support of the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) programme and the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment project (<A href="http://www.usgodae.org/">GODAE</A>).<br /> |
