World Ocean Circulation Experiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a component of the international World Climate Research Program, and aimed to establish the role of the World Ocean in the Earth's climate system. WOCE's field phase ran between 1990 and 1998, and was followed by an analysis and modelling phase that ran until 2002.
