Scientific Groups

Organization

It is not necessary and impossible to reproduce at the international level the various structures of different projects contributing to AMMA. To ensure the integration of the activities of the AMMA projects, the ISSC has decided to coordinate 5 main integrative science Working Groups and 2 Cross-Cutting activities.

WG1: West African monsoon and Global Climate including aerosols and chemistry

WG2: Water cycle

WG3: Surface - Atmosphere feedbacks

WG4: Prediction of Climate Impacts

WG5: High impact weather prediction and predictability (joint with THORPEX)

CC1: Climate modelling (evaluation and improvement)

CC2: Long Term Observations (EOP 2007, LOP and satellite products)
