The tenth session of the OOPC was held at WMO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Being at the WMO allowed for close interaction with GCOS, WCRP, JCOMM, the WMO Information System (WIS), and THORPEX. The science focus was on the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) and on Subtropical Cells (STCs). CLIVAR representation included basin panel representatives and the chair of the Global Synthesis and Observations Panel (GSOP).
