At the CLIVAR/GODAE Meeting on Ocean Synthesis Evaluation, held at ECMWF, UK, in August 2006, several ocean systhesis efforts produced outputs for a collaborative intercomparison assessment of the existing global analysis/synthesis products. These intercomparison assessment followed an evaluation framework developed in the white paper produced by Lee and Stammer, the "CLIVAR/GODAE Global Synthesis Evaluation Framework".

At the Earth System Initialization for Decadal Predictions Workshop, hosted by the KNMI in November 2009, the modeling community had suggested and requested that ocean reanalysis are provided in an "EasyInit" project that can support the coupled modeling community to ease the initialization of decadal prediction runs using ocean reanalyses. The KlimaCampus of the University of Hamburg had volunteered to host such a project and prepared the infrastructure.
