The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE)

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment was ended in 2002.  Some of its activities, however, are being continued through a new programme CLImate VARiability (CLIVAR).

With its DAC partners, ISDM assembled, processed, quality controlled, and distributed large volumes and a variety of data. ISDM had undertaken these commitments because software systems and expertise for drifting buoys and real time ocean profile data were already available through its RNODC and GTSPP activities.

Programmes

• Upper Ocean Thermal Programme (UOT)
  Data for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) were managed by Data Assembly Centres (DACs) some of which combined activities at data centres and scientific organizations. The ISDM of DFO was a component of the DACs for two WOCE programmes, now continued under CLIVAR.
