97            <p> AGU's Fall Meeting 2008 will feature an ECCO session, identified as <a href="http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm08.old/index.php/Program/SessionSearch/?show=detail&sessid=45" target="_blank">OS04: CLIVAR/GODAE: The ECCO State Estimates</a>. This session will provide an opportunity for ECCO product users to (a) describe the scientific implications of their results, (b) enhance the feedback from the broader community to the Consortium, (c) foster the interaction between ECCO members and other scientists who utilize the state estimates. The <a href="http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/sessions5?meeting=fm08&part=OS41F" target="_blank">oral part (OS41F)</a> will take place on <i>Thursday, Dec. 18th, starting 8am in MW Room 2022</i>. It is preceded by a <a href="http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/sessions5?meeting=fm08&part=OS31C" target="_blank">poster session (OS31C)</a> on <i>Wednesday, Dec. 17th, starting 8am, in MC Hall D</i>.</p>            <p>The National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) will hold a Town Hall meeting during OS 2010, entitled: <i>Ocean Partnerships: Collaborative Oceanographic Research for the Future</i>. One of the projects featured will be ECCO-GODAE. The meeting takes place on Tuesday, February 23r

99            <p> As part of his Ph.D. thesis, <a href="http://www-pord.ucsd.edu/~mmazloff/" target="_blank">Matt Mazloff</a> has produced an eddy-permitting state estimate at 1/6 degree horizontal resolution of the Southern Ocean, covering the Argo-rich period 2005/06. The adjoint-based solution is dynamically consistent and enables closed budget calculations of various quantities. Matt's thesis was featured in the <a href="http://www.sdsc.edu/us/newsletter/common/newsletter.php?%20issue=2006-02&corner=fstory">SDSC Thread Newsletter</a>, and more recently in WHOI's Oceanus magazine (<a href="http://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/viewArticle.do?id=49240&archives=true" target="_blank">Corralling the Wild and Wooly Southern Ocean</a>).</p>                <p>&nbsp;</p>

               <p>  
                 In collaboration with web designer Colleen  Boisvert  
                 ECCO has launched a new overall project web  site.  
                 Main purpose of this site is to provide an  integrated view  
                 of ECCO and it's follow-on projects  
                 (ECCO-GODAE, ECCO2, GECCO, ...).  
                 It is hoped that readers will get a clear  understanding  
                 of  
                 ECCO's various activities, and will find  
                 among ECCO's various ocean state estimation  products  
                 those which best suit their needs.  
                 We welcome any <a href="mailto:heimbach@mit.edu">feedback</a> you may wish to provide.              </p>

               <p class="headergray">30 March 2007: Ocean model captures diversity  of marine microbes</p>  
               <p>                Scientists at MIT have developed a new  marine ecosystem model that allows its populations of  
                 phytoplankton to  realistically evolve, reflecting the diversity in populations in the natural  world. This  
                 should lead to a better understanding of the coupling between ocean  and atmospheric chemistry.  
                 The model makes use of ECCO's ocean state estimate  to capture the physical environment in  
                 which the ecosystem evolves. The study  &quot;Emergent Biogeography of Microbial Communities in a  
                 Model Ocean&quot;  &nbsp;by  Michael J. Follows, Stephanie Dutkiewicz, Scott Grant, and Sallie W. Chisholm  was published in today's issue of <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/315/5820/1843" target="_blank">Science magazine</a>. It is part of the <a href="http://www.moore.org/newsitem.aspx?id=2064" target="_blank">MIT Darwin Project</a> and funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.<br />

               <p><span class="headergray">19 March 2007: ECCO products now hosted on  SDSC's SRB archive.</span></p>  
               <p>              In a collaboration between the San Diego  Supercomputing Center  
                 (SDSC) and ECCO,  
                 a large part of the ECCO products have been  transfered to  
                 <a href="http://datacentral.sdsc.edu/resources.html" target="_blank">SDSC's  Datacentral</a>                and managed via                <a href="http://datacentral.sdsc.edu/srb_resource.html" target="_blank">Storage Resource Broker (SRB)</a>.                To make these data available to the community  via  
                 different commonly used servers and software  tools,  
                 including DODS/OPeNDAP and LAS,  
                 SDSC's DataCentral specialist Roman  Olschanowsky  
                 and MIT's Constantinos Evangelinos successfully  
                 implemented DODS/OPeNDAP on top of SRB.  
                 The SRB system allows fast and easy data access  
                 across various disk and tape resources while  ensuring  
                 archiving/backup capability.  
                 High speed access to the SDSC data using the  SRB client tools is also  
                 available.</p>

               <p class="headergray">13 November 2006: Elephant seals serving ECCO</p>  
               <p>                A unique set of roughly 320,000 individual sub-surface  measurements  
                 of salinity (conductivity), temperature, and  depth (CTD) taken by elephant  
                 seals which carried bio-logging and telemetry  devices  
                 was added to the ECCO state estimation system  as new  
                 observational constraints.  
                 The data were kindly provided by the  <a href="http://biology.st-andrews.ac.uk/seaos/index.html" target="_blank">&quot;Southern Elephant Seals as  
                 Oceanographic Samplers&quot; (SEaOS)</a>                project involving  
                 the <a href="http://www.smru.st-and.ac.uk/" target="_blank">University of St. Andrew's NERC Sea Mammal  Research Unit (SMRU)</a>                and the <a href="http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/" target="_blank">British Antarctic Survey</a>.                The uniqueness of the data derives from the  ability of seals  
                 to go under the sea-ice which covers large  parts of the Southern  
                 Ocean poleward of 60S during austral winter and  where in-situ data  
                 are not available otherwise.</p>
