NOTE: In early 1997, the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) concept emerged from discussions of the Ocean Observation Panel for Climate (OOPC), which is jointly sponsored by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)
