WWRP Data Assimilation & Observing Systems
Working Group on Data Assimilation and Observing Systems (DAOS)
Mission
DAOS aims to advance the optimal use of observations and to drive the development of data assimilation for coupled Earth System models. Currently, DAOS has identified three main research focus areas where the WG can contribute with relevant progress to the overarching WWRP theme of advancing Seamless Prediction in Earth System modelling. These are
- Coupled data assimilation
- Machine learning for DA applications
- Observation impact for existing and future observation systems
DAOS seeks collaboration with universities and research-performing institutions, environmental agencies as well as any kind of education institution interested in using observation data in weather and climate.
