| Description | 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. ’n Internasionale navorsingsprogram van wêreldwye omvang, WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment), word vir die negentigerjare beplan. Die doel daarmee is om ’n kwantumsprong te maak in kennis en begrip van die sirkulasie van die wêreldoseaan en die invloed daarvan op wêreldklimaatsveranderings. Suid-Afrika het groot belong by so ’n program en hoewel hy nie oor die hulpmiddele van die groter lande beskik nie, kan sy wetenskaplikes op bepaalde gebiede sleutelbydraes lewer. Voorbereidings hiervoor word reeds getref. | |
