The Smithsonian Institution s Global Volcanism Program GVP documents Earth s volcano es and their eruptive history over the past 10,000 years. The GVP reports on current eruptions from around the world as well as maintaining a database repository on active volcanoes and their eruptions. In this way, a global context for the planet s active volcanism is presented. Smithsonian reporting on current volcanic activity dates back to 1968, with the Center for Short Lived Phenomena CSLP . The GVP is housed in the Department of Mineral Sciences, part of the National Museum of Natural History , on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. During the early stages of an eruption, the GVP acts as a clearinghouse of reports, data, and imagery which are accumulated from a global network of contributors. The early flow of information is managed such that the right people are contacted as well as helping to sort out vague and contradictory aspects that typically arise during the early days of an eruption. The GVP also documents the last 10,000 years of Earth s volcanism. The historic activity can guide perspectives on possible future events and on volcanoes showing activity. GVP s volcano and eruption databases constitute a foundation for all statistical statements concerning locations, frequencies, and magnitudes of Earth s volcanic eruptions during the last 10,000 years. Two editions of Volcanoes of the World Simkin et al., 1981 and Simkin and Siebert, 1994 were published based on the GVP data and interpretations.

otheruses Toga disambiguation The Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere program TOGA is a component of the World Climate Research Programme WCRP aimed specifically at the prediction of climate phenomena on time scales of months to years. TOGA emphasizes the Tropics tropical ocean s and their relationship to the Earth s atmosphere global atmosphere . Underlying TOGA is the premise that the dynamic adjustment of the ocean in the tropics is far more rapid than at higher latitude s. Thus disturbances emanating from the western Pacific Ocean such as El Ni o may propagate across the basin on time scales of weeks compared to years for corresponding basin wide propagation at higher latitudes. The significance of shorter dynamic times scales near the equator is that they are similar to those of highly energetic atmospheric modes. This similarity allows the formation of coupled modes between the ocean and the atmosphere. Scientific objectives of TOGA The specific goals and scientific objectives of TOGA are WCRP, 1985 To gain a description of the tropical oceans and the global atmosphere as a time dependant system in order to determine the extent to which the system is predictable on time scales of months to years and to understand the mechanisms and processes underlying its predictability. To study the feasibility of modeling the couple ocean atmosphere system for the purpose of predicting its variation on time scales of months to years and To provide the scientific background for designing an observing and data transmission system for operational predication, if this capability is demonstrated, by coupled ocean atmosphere models.
