OceanPrediction Decade Collaborative Center is inviting ECOPs to join their nine Regional Teams on a volunteer basis. They are formed by a broad range of individuals, belonging both to public and private sectors, covering different topics and interests, from science to applications, coastal to open ocean, biological to physical services, etc.
