The CLIVAR Upper Ocean Panel(UOP) met for the first time 18-19 December 1995 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The meeting was chaired by Dr Ants Leetmaa; a list of Panel members and invited experts can be found in Appendix A. The main objectives of this meeting were to review the Panel' s terms of reference, define immediate goals, outline a strategy to meet these, and begin to develop a list of scientific topics which the Panel will investigate. The first day was devoted largely to discussions of the terms of reference, relevant national and international planning activities, particularly those related to CLIVAR, WOCE and GCOS/GOOS, and the status of the various upper ocean observing systems in place.

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment(WOCE) is by far the largest, most ambitious oceanographic experiment ever carried out. The WOCE observational program began in 1990, but the origins of WOCE go back to the late 1970s. The experiment has involved the efforts of more than 40 nations over a period of more than 10 years, making use of several different satellites, dozens of ships, and thousands of instruments... In 1983, the CCCO [Committee on Climatic Change and the Ocean] and the Joint Scientific Committee of the World Climate Research Programme established a Scientific Steering Group(SSG) to design and implement a global scale oceanographic experiment the World Ocean Circulation Experiment.
