Summary

Abstract: ECCO's overall goal is to bring ocean state estimation from it's experimental status to that of a practical and quasi operational tool for studying large- scale ocean dynamics, designing observational strategies, and examining the ocean's role in climate variability. Their technical goal is the sustained production and evaluation of ... continuing three-dimensional estimates of the global state of ...
