The Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project(1985–1994) established the physical basis for the understanding and prediction of El Niño temperature signals and associated changes in global climate. This led to a major breakthrough in operational seasonal climate forecasting.

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) (1982–2002),the biggest and most successful global ocean research programme to date,collected observations of the world’s oceans of unprecedented quality and coverage and led to the development of important new ocean observing techniques and improved understanding of physical processes in the ocean.

Led to improved understanding of tropicalocean-atmosphere climate interactions.Established seasonal climate predictability

First complete baseline observation ofthe global ocean and its circulation.Established sustained global ocean observations.

Today the WCRP consists of four major core projects:

• Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR)since 1995

• Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX)since 1979

• Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC)since 1992

• Climate and Cryosphere (CliC)since 2000
