WCRP launches the Years of Precipitation 2028–2030
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), through the Global Precipitation Experiment (GPEX), is launching the Years of Precipitation (YoP), a coordinated international effort centred on 2028-2030 to advance the observation, understanding and prediction of precipitation.
"The Years of Precipitation is a unique opportunity to bring together existing and planned research efforts through international coordination. By strengthening collaboration across field campaigns, connecting observations with modelling and prediction, and addressing critical scientific and regional gaps, YoP aims to maximise the scientific value of these investments and create a lasting legacy for precipitation research. YOP is one of the first WCRP's projects working on partnerships with the private sector" say the WCRP chair Tim Naish and vice chair Cristiana Stan.
GPEX invites field campaigns, research programmes, observing activities, NMHSs, operational organisations, regional initiatives and funding partners to connect with YoP during its preparatory phase.
To know more and to connect with the YoP Team, visit the Years of Precipitation (YoP) website.
