Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE)

The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was a scientific research project aimed at understanding how the ocean and atmosphere interact, especially in the tropical Western Pacific. By collecting detailed measurements of winds, sea surface temperatures, and other climate variables, scientists studied how these components influence and regulate each other, particularly during events like El Niño. This research helps improve weather forecasting and climate modeling by providing insights into the complex feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere, which are critical for understanding global climate patterns and their impacts on weather and ocean conditions.
