Research Teams

Responsible for production of ECCO's central multi-decadal state
estimate. Also developing estimation systems for ocean-ice interaction
and global eddy-resolving models for ECCO's next generation estimate.

Responsible for MITgcm, the ocean general circulation model employed
in all ECCO products.
Jean-Michel Campin
Gael Forget
Chris Hill
Diana Spiegel
Carl Wunsch

Responsible for ECCO infrastructure especially the adjoint of
MITgcm. Also leading development of ocean-ice sheet parameterization
and high-resolution estimation.
Patrick Heimbach
An T. Nguyen

Responsible for development of new data sets and physics packages for
the ECCO estimates. Also involved in assessing data and solution
uncertainties and developing diagnostic tools for scientific analyses.
