Ridge Inter-Disciplinary Global Experiments (Ridge)
RIDGE has not maintained a list of publications by principal investigator, although it is planning to begin the collection of one. The easiest RIDGE
publications to cite are therefore the RIDGE Theoretical Institute volumes that have been published as AGU Monographs.
Mantle Flow and Melt Generation at Mid-Ocean Ridges - 1992, Jason Phipps Morgan, Donna K. Blackman, John M. Sinton (Editors), AGU Geophysical Monograph 71, 361p.

U.S. Science Support Program (USSSP)/Ocean Drilling Program (ODP)
Note: JOI solicited USSAC's help to answer this question, and received over 100 nominations for ODP's highest profile publications (with a U.S. scientist as first author). What I (Ellen Kappel, USSSP Program Director) decided to provide is a diverse list of publications (though it is weighted quite heavily toward paleoceanography), rather than only those that might be listed as the top ten in a citation index. I could not cull the input to ten articles. My apologies.

Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP)
CoOP has just funded the synthesis phase of its first pilot project and solicited proposals for its first major process study.
Climate Variability And Predictability Program/Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System Program (Clivar/Goals)
CLIVAR/GOALS is a new program.
Tropical Oceans-Global Atmosphere (Toga)
A number of NRC reports and papers are listed in the report, NRC, 1996. Learning to Predict the Climate Variations Associated with ENSO: Accomplishments and Legacies of the TOGA Program. National Academy Press.
There was a joint special issue of Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR) for COARE Feb. 1991. There will be a joint JGR issue of final TOGA Papers, hopefully ere this year is out. There are several hundred prediction papers that TOGA spawned maintained on a website at:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/coare/
But more than the papers, TOGA left new institutions: The IRI now exists, National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) changed its name and function to include climate prediction, there are a number of prediction centers throughout the United States, and the rest of the world, and the TAO array is undergoing transition to the first operational oceanography array in support of prediction. There are new institutions to look at the applications of ENSO predictions. Much of this is described in NRC (1996) cited above.
