Editing TOPEX/Poseidon (section)

=== Goal ===
The mission's most important achievement was to determine the patterns of ocean circulation - how [[ocean heat content|heat stored in the ocean]] moves from one place to another. Since the ocean holds most of the Earth's heat from the Sun, ocean circulation is a driving force of climate. TOPEX/Poseidon made it possible for the first time to compare computer models of ocean circulation with actual global observations and use the data to improve climate predictions.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/features.cfm?feature=973| title = Topex/Poseidon Sails Off Into the Sunset | publisher = NASA/JPL}}</ref>
