The Campaign
The Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) was a field campaign conducted by NSF, NOAA, ONR, and NASA. TOGA COARE aimed to understand the role of warm-pool regions in the tropics and processes of the tropical-ocean-atmosphere system. It consisted of one deployment from November 1992 to February 1993 over the Western Pacific Ocean. NASA's ER-2 and DC-8 aircraft were equipped with remote sensing sensors to collect observations of precipitation and meteorological parameters over the tropics. Additional aircraft, sounding, ship, and buoy observations were also gathered. NASA was only a significant participant in TOGA COARE.
