One of the major experiments in earth science at the present time is about to begin: the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). The objectives of WCRP are to determine the extent to which climate change can be predicted, and the extent to which human activities (such as increasing the level of CO ) can influence our climate. 2 To understand and possibly to predict climate change, one needs a good understanding of the dynamics of the ocean, the atmosphere, and the processes by which they are coupled. Two major programs are being developed within WCRP: TOGA (Tropical Oceans, Global Atmosphere)...

Collates theoretical conceptions of the physical mechanisms of climate change with observational evidence of these changes. Topics covered in the text include observed climate variability, predictability of the atmosphere and oceans from days to decades, and oceanic circulation in climate change.
