| 5 |  |  | <meta name="description" content="Welcome to the Estimation of the | 
| 6 |  |  | Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project homepage. ECCO is a consortium | 
| 7 |  |  | involving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Jet Propulsion | 
| 8 |  |  | Laboratory (JPL/NASA), the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO/SDSC) and the Institut | 
| 9 |  |  | fuer Meereskunde at the University of Hamburg (IfM). It is funded by the National | 
| 10 |  |  | Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). The long term goal of ECCO is to provide | 
| 11 |  |  | a high resolution coupled ocean/sea-ice/biochemical (and ultimately, consistent | 
| 12 |  |  | atmospheric) state estimate to a wide community."> |

It is subjected to automated daily testing (with results posted to <A href="http://mitgcm.org/public/testing.html" target="_blank">this location</A>) on our local 'glacier' cluster. The ECCO v4 setup is freely available for download via the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html" target="_blank">MITgcm CVS repository</A> by following a few simple directions provided in the <A href="http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/*checkout*/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/eccov4.pdf" target="_blank">ECCO version 4 user guide</A>. The various input and forcing fields needed to re-run the ECCO v4-r2 state estimate (the baseline solution) are also freely availble (see <A href="http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/*checkout*/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/verification/eccov4.pdf" target="_blank">ECCO version 4 user guide</A>).
