Following the successful example of the TOGA program, it would have four major program elements: modeling, observations, empirical studies, and process studies. The success of the program would be measured by enhanced understanding of global climate variability and predictability on seasonal-to-interannual time scales, by the effectiveness of the observing system it developed for describing and predicting the climate system, by the increased ability to model the processes critical to seasonal-to-interannual variations, and by the skill developed in predicting these seasonal-to-interannual climate variations.
