What Does FGGE Stand For?

FGGE stands for First GARP Global Experiment

The First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE) was a comprehensive international research initiative conducted in the late 1970s to improve the understanding and prediction of global weather patterns. Sponsored by the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP), FGGE aimed to enhance meteorological data collection and analysis through coordinated observation and modeling efforts. This experiment played a pivotal role in advancing numerical weather prediction and laid the groundwork for future international collaboration in atmospheric science.
