===Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate===
'''Stratosphere-troposphere Processes and their Role in Climate''' (SPARC) is a core project of the programme. Founded in 1992, SPARC has coordinated high-level research activities related to understanding Earth system processes for over two decades. More specifically, SPARC promotes and facilitates cutting-edge international research activities on how chemical and physical processes in [[Atmosphere of Earth|the atmosphere]] interact with climate and climate change.
===Previous Programs===
* [[World Ocean Circulation Experiment]] (1990 - 2002): An oceanographic campaign to explore and develop ocean models, including collecting data and standardizing acquisition processes, and to look at long-term ocean circulation behaviors.
