Objectives:
Goal of the Web page is to provide an overview over what is going on and who is involved in "Inverse Modeling in Oceanography".  In order to keep the page up to date it provides only a simple ordered list with basic information about the participating inverse efforts. More (and up to date) details for each entry can be obtained through a link to the investigators Web page for that particular model (where available). For the beginning the ordering is alphabetical and could be separated according to scientific goals (circulation, bio-geochemistry, etc.) by increasing number of entries.
