The Ocean's Role in Climate Prediction.

Abstract

This report is intended to provide an overview of the present and projected large projects currently related to the second Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) objective to understand the role of ocean in climate; to formulate specific questions that appear to be vital to our understanding of the role of the ocean in climate; to report on the activities that are actually taking place and to access how they stand in regard to the total task that needs to be done; and, to indicate where the first GARP Global Experiment (FGGE) provides opportunities toward understanding the ocean-atmosphere climate problem.
