== Activities and projects ==
WCRP's largest activities are its four "Core Projects" (called [[Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate|SPARC]], [[CLIVAR]], [[CliC]], and [[Global Energy and Water Exchanges|GEWEX]]),<ref name="review2017" /> which support climate research on the global atmosphere, oceans, the cryosphere, and the land surface (together constituting the Earth's physical climate system) as well as interactions and exchanges between them. Each Core Project again has a structure similar to that of WCRP itself, namely contributing scientists, a scientific steering group, and a secretariat ("international project office") hosted by individual countries.
The programme further maintains topical working groups and advisory councils on climate data, climate modelling, subseasonal-to-decadal climate prediction, and regional climate modelling.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dkn-future-earth.org/data/mediapool/wcrp_implementation_plan.pdf |title=The World Climate Research Programme Implementation Plan 2010-2015 |publisher=World Meteorological Organization |date=2017 |number= WMO/TD-No. 1503}}</ref> Additional "Grand Challenges" target specific questions of societal interest within climate science.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wcrp-climate.org/grand-challenges/grand-challenges-overview |title=Overview of the WCRP Grand Challenges}}</ref>
