OBJECTIVES To predict seasonal to decadal climate variability.
- To study the quantitative description of the evolving state of the upper ocean and the pattern of ocean climate variability, including heat, fresh water storage and transport.
- To enhance the value of the altimeter with sufficient coverage and resolution for interpretation of altimetric sea surface height variability.
- For initialization of ocean and coupled forecast models, data assimilation and dynamical model testing.
