Abstract

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) was established in 1979 as a joint activity of the World Meteorological Organization and the International Council of Scientific Unions. In recognition of the primary contribution of the oceans to the climate system, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission is now expected to share the formal responsibility for the WCRP. The WCRP consists of a number of programs that focus international research on major problems of the climate system, including the development and application of climate models, the hydrologic cycle, and the causes of low-frequency variability in the climate system.
