definition: The Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) provided the opportunity to observe tropical precipitation systems in the Western Pacific Ocean. Previous studies have shown that the driving force of global circulation is the result of latent heat released during the formation of tropical precipitation (Simpson et al. 1988). One of the goals of TOGA COARE was to determine and understand the development and interactions of precipitation in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
