Observations & Modelling

Satellite observations of the climate provide the evidence from which to validate and improve the quality, credibility and value of model predictions. The ESA Climate Change Initiative includes a several projects to strengthen collaboration between Earth Observation and climate modelling communities; facilitate scientific exploitation of satellite climate data records for model assimilation, calibration and parameterisation, leading to better understanding and improved predictions.

ESA also hosts the CMIP International Project Office of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project' which coordinates global modelling, data and observations activities, under the governance of the World Climate Research Programme.
