climate
system and climate processes needed to determine to what extent climate can be predicted and the extent of human influence on climate. The programme encompasses studies of the
global atmosphere

sea ice
, land ice (such as
glaciers
,
ice caps
and
ice sheets
), and the land surface which together constitute the Earth's physical climate system.
