The Intercomparison of Radiation Codes in Climate Models... ICRCCM was initiated by the World Climate Research Program and the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics to accomplish such goals as developing a better understanding of the differences in model approaches, understanding how these differences affect model sensitivity, evaluating the effects of simplifying assumptions, and evaluating the effects of using different sources of spectral line data.  1, record 1, English, - Intercomparison%20of%20Radiation%20Codes%20in%20Climate%20Models

The Global Baseline Surface Radiation Network(GBSRN) has been designed in response to the Joint Scientific Committee(JSC) Working Group on Radiative Fluxes(WGRF) recommendation that the World Climate Research Program(WCRP) establish a global baseline network of surface stations to support studies of global climate change. The mission of this network would be : to monitor long-term trends in radiation fluxes at the surface to provide validation data for satellite determinations of surface radiation budget.  2, record 2, English, - Global%20Baseline%20Surface%20Radiation%20Network

Since 1985, monthly means of the surface energy fluxes have been systematically extracted from periodicals, monographs, data reports and unpublished manuscripts. After certain standardization and formalization procedures, these monthly means were stored in the Global Energy Balance Archive paper records. In November 1986, the GEBA was made a project(A7) of the World Climate Program-Water.  1, record 3, English, - Global%20Energy%20Balance%20Archive

Core project of International Geosphere-Biosphere Program. BAHC is an interdisciplinary project combining and integrating expertise from many disciplines, in particular eco-physiology, pedology, hydrology, and meteorology. BAHC in this respect has a transfer function : on the one hand developing techniques and algorithms to provide climatic data needed for hydroecological research, thereby translating the results of the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP) into the scales relevant for studies of changes of the conditions at the land surface, and on the other hand, providing soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer at larger scales, in particular, the areal pattern of heat and moisture fluxes according to land-surface heterogeneity. BAHC concentrates on investigations at scales where detailed studies of hydroecological processes are feasible in selected areas representing major ecosystems of the world and across boundaries between different ecosystems(ecotones, biome boundaries, etc.).  2, record 4, English, - Biospheric%20Aspects%20of%20the%20Hydrological%20Cycle

In 1987-after several years of development work-the Department of Meteorology and Wind Energy(now : Wind Energy and Atmospheric Physics Department) at Riso National laboratory introduced WAsP-a powerful tool for wind climate estimation, data analysis and siting of wind turbines. WAsP constitutes a complete analysis and application package. Wind data, whether in the form of a time series or a climatological table, can be transformed into regional wind atlasas. Such data may be the users own data or general climatological data. The program can be applied directly for estimation of wind climate with wind atlas data from the Danish and the European Wind Atlasas and corresponding data collections from other countries-all over the world.  2, record 5, English, - Wind%20Atlas%20Analysis%20and%20Application%20Program

The Global Precipitation Climatology Project(GPCP) is an element of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment(GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Program(WCRP). It was established by the WCRP in 1986 with the initial goal of providing monthly mean precipitation data on a 2. 5 x 2. 5 degree latitude-longitude grid for the period 1986-1995. This was recently extended to the year 2000. The GPCP will accomplish this by merging infrared and microwave satellite estimates of precipitation with rain gauge data from more than 30, 000 stations.  3, record 6, English, - Global%20Precipitation%20Climatology%20Project
