Observations & Modelling
Satellite observation records support efforts to assess, refine, and validate climate models, enhancing their quality and reliability.
To optimise the value of its long-term satellite-derived climate data records, the ESA Climate Change Initiative includes projects dedicated to strengthening collaboration between the satellite and climate modeling communities. These initiatives also enhance the integration of climate data into models, leading to better understanding and improved predictions.
ESA also hosts the WCRP, Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, International Project Office to further build community links.
