Planning for a World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE); Planning for a U.S. Component

计划在20世纪90年代进行一次世界海洋环流实验，以改进我们对全球海洋环流的描述。这一雄心勃勃的计划将在全球范围内提供观测数据，以提高我们的建模能力，并协助评估气候变率。该项目将为规划工作提供资金，包括科学指导委员会和一些讲习班，以支持多方面的实地计划。今年，美国将完成该计划的实施计划。最后，该计划将在巴黎举行的国际WOCE大会上提出。

A World Ocean Circulation Experiment is planned for the 1990's to improve our description of the global ocean circulation. This ambitious program will provide, on a global basis, observational data to improve our modeling capability and assist the assessment of climate variability. This project will provide funds to the planning effort, including the Science Steering Committee, and a number of workshops in support of the multi-faceted field program. This year, the implementation plan will be completed for the U.S. contributions to the program. Finally, the plan will be presented at the International WOCE Congress in Paris.
