TOGA COARE
University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE) records, 1985-1996.
The TOGA-COARE records consist of budget information, correspondence, plans, reports, protocols, ship reports, meeting minutes, and handwritten notes. Meeting minutes and correspondence offer a window into the complexities of managing and executing a massive international field project. Records creators include Brigitte Baeuerle, Richard Carbone, David Carlson, Greg Holland, Joachim Kuettner, Henry Lansford, Diane Lask, Margatet LeMone, Eric Lindstrom, Roger Lukas, Larry Radke, Karyn Sawyer, Peter Webster, and Edward Zipser.
The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was designed by an international group of scientists as an integral part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Study. TOGA-COARE brought together scientists and support staff from 20 nations. The experiment combined oceanography, meteorology, and computer climate modeling to better understand the effect of tropical warm weather regions on the tropical ocean-global atmosphere system. UCAR managed TOGA-COARE, the second largest field program since GATE, with the establishment of the TOGA-COARE International Project Office in Boulder in 1990. Over 150 UCAR/NCAR staff were involved in the project.
