| 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." /> |
