Enhanced Coastal Productivity from Increased Glacier Melt
Increased melt from Greenland's most active glacier fuels enhanced coastal productivity
The "Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean" (ECCO) consortium makes the best possible estimates of ocean circulation and its role in climate. Our solutions combine state-of-the-art ocean circulation models with global ocean data sets.
What sets us apart from other models? We reproduce observations in a physically and statistically consistent manner. Over two thousand ECCO-related publications attest to our products' value for understanding changes in the ocean – including sea level rise, sea ice loss, El Niño events, and the cycling of water and carbon.

ECCO helps develop tools to guide where mCDR could work efficiently... and not so much
And the energy that drives it
Tiny organisms can adapt to changing light, much to our benefit
How deep ocean connections may provide insight into our future climate
Which factors impact how ocean saltiness varies from season to season?
The ocean absorbs more then 90% of the excess heat from global warming. ECCO allows us to measure long-term trends at various ocean depths. This includes the uppermost 200 meters (650 feet) that has a direct influence on our atmosphere (and vice versa). Even better ECCO reveals trends throughout the full depth of our ocean.
