Definitions for "WOCE"
Acronym for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment program, a component of the WCRP that is a cooperative scientific effort by more than 30 nations to provide essential strategic research on ocean circulation. The primary goals of WOCE are (1) to develop models useful for predicting climate change and to collect the data necessary to test them and (2) to determine the representativeness of the specific WOCE data sets for the long-term behavior of the ocean, and to find methods for determining long-term changes on time scales from ten to one hundred years. The field phase of the program is from 1990 to 1997 and the analysis, interpretation, modeling and synthesis (AIMS) phase continues until the year 2002. Some WOCE observations will be continued by the CLIVAR program. For more information see the U.S. WOCE Office Web site, the WOCE International Project Office (IPO), the WOCE Hydrographic Program Office (WHP), or the WOCE Data Information Unit (DIU).
