SPARC activities are organised under three themes and address societally-relevant scientific questions related to the atmosphere and its role in climate change.

• 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)
• Stratospheric sulfur (SSiRC)
• Temperature changes (ATC)
• Towards Unified Error Reporting (TUNER)
• Tropical Convection (SATIO-TCS)
