Description: A consortium formed by a group of scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) with the technical goal of the sustained production and evaluation of continuing three-dimensional estimates of the global state of the ocean in near-real time in support programs such as GODAE and CLIVAR.
ECCO: Estimating the Circulation & Climate of the Ocean ECCO was established in 1998 as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment ( ) with the goal of combining a general circulation model (GCM) with diverse observations in order to produce a quantitative depiction of the time-evolving global ocean state. The importance of such an endeavor is recognized by numerous national and international organizations, such as the WMO's World Climate Research Programme (

Description:Welcome to the Estimation of the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project homepage. ECCO is a consortium involving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL/NASA), the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO/SDSC) and the Institut fuer Meereskunde at the University of Hamburg (IfM). It is funded by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). The long term goal of ECCO is to provide a high resolution coupled ocean/sea-ice/biochemical (and ultimately, consistent atmospheric) state estimate to a wide community.
