World Ocean Circulation Experiment
urements and numerous upper ocean thermal observations with expendable bathythermographs (XBTs, ~bathythermograph). Satellites ERS-l, ERDS2 and TOPEX/Poseidon enable study of seasonal and interannual changes of
the ocean's topography, this can be used to determine absolute currents. The
WOCE program, originally planned for five years, will continue until 2002.
