  • Assessing predictability (SNAP)
  • CCM initiative (CCMI)
  • Composition Trends And Variability in the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (OCTV-UTLS)
  • Data assimilation
  • Dynamical variability (DynVar)
  • Fine-scale Processes (FISAPS)
  • Gravity waves
  • Ozone Trends (LOTUS)
  • Polar stratospheric clouds (PSC)
  • Quasi-biennial oscillation (QBOi)
  • Reanalysis intercomparison (S-RIP)
  • Solar influence (SOLARIS-HEPPA)
