Summary

"The oceans are a key element in the climate system because they transport heat and fresh water and exchange these with the atmosphere. The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), a part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), has used resources from nearly 30countries to make unprecedented in-situ and satellite observations of the global ocean between 1990 and 1998 and to observe poorly-understoodbut important physical processes"--Welcome screen of Disc 1.
