CPPA

Climate Prediction Project for the Americas (derived from PACS and GAPP)

PROJECT DATES
01/01/2002 - 12/31/2006
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

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.
