An international research programme of enormous scope, WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment), is being planned for the last decade of this century. It is aimed at increasing our knowledge and understanding of the world ocean circulation by a quantum leap, thereby contributing to a better understanding of world climate changes. This programme is of great interest to South Africa and, while lacking the resources of the larger countries. South Africans can make key contributions in certain specific areas and have started preparing to do so.
