The VAMOS Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REX) is an international field experiment designed to better understand physical and chemical processes central to the climate system of the Southeast Pacific (SEP) region. The climate of the SEP region is a tightly coupled system involving poorly understood interactions between the ocean, the atmosphere, and the land.

To achieve its goals, VOCALS-REx field campaign plans to:

• improved model simulations
  
• provide detailed and targeted observations
  
• designed to complement a suite of enhanced long-term observations.
  
• lead to improvement for climate and regional forecasting agencies.
