Description:The National Climate Program Five-Year Plan, 1989-1993 (NCPO, 1989) includes the following major objectives and recommendations: • To create an integrated climate information system permitting easy access to the data specifying the climate system and the factors having influence on climate. • To provide climate data products and services aimed at wide-spread utilization of climate information. • In close cooperation with the World Climate Data Programme, improve access to data representing the individual components of the climate system and the factors having influence on climate. • Establish a cooperative international analysis and research program designed to reach a scientific consensus with regard to the observed global climate trend as represented by such parameters as the surface air temperature, precipitation, and the mean sea level. • To increase the understanding of the processes having influence on climate, and to develop more realistic methods for their parameterization. • To develop a hierarchy of numerical climate models capable of simulating and predicting climate on time scales ranging from one month to decades or longer.
