Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) Records
Scope and Contents
The Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) called for an international effort that would be spread over a decade and aimed at greatly increasing knowledge of the global behavior of the atmosphere. A global observing system and a series of field programs and computer experiments were planned as part of the Program with the goal of extending the range of large-scale weather forecasts beyond the then limit of three to five days.
The GARP Records include budget information, correspondence, newsletters, reports, meeting agendas and minutes, and plans for research.
