The
Climate Prediction Program for the Americas (CPPA) merges
NOAA's CLIVAR Pan American Climate Studies (PACS)
and GEWEX Americas Prediction Project (GAPP) into a single integrated competitive research program to improve
operational intraseasonal to interannual climate and hydrologic forecasting. To achieve its goal, CPPA supports
research to:
- Improve the understanding and model simulation of ocean, atmosphere and land-surface processes
through observations, data analysis, and modeling studies
- Determine the predictability of climate variations on intra-seasonal to interannual time scale,
including predictability of the continental-scale monsoon systems across the Americas
- Advance NOAA's operational climate forecasts, monitoring, and analysis systems; and
- Develop climate-based hydrologic forecasting capabilities and decision support tools for water
resource applications.
