The Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) project, as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), is dedicated to understanding Earth’s water cycle and energy fluxes at, and below the surface and in the atmosphere. We are a network of scientists gathering information on and researching the global water and energy cycles, which will help to predict changes in the world’s climate. The International GEWEX Project Office, or IGPO, supports these activities by planning meetings, implementing research goals, and producing a quarterly newsletter to keep the GEWEX community informed.
