- Coupled Earth system modeling (atmosphere–ocean–ice) within operational frameworks
- Integration of satellite and in situ observations into research and operational workflows
- Data assimilation cycle support: quality control, consistency, and performance optimization
- System configuration, tuning, benchmarking, and evaluation in mission environments
- Support for improving forecast accuracy, system stability, and operational readiness
Observing System Evaluation (OSE/OSSE)
End-to-end design and execution of Observing System Experiments and Observing System Simulation Experiments for mission-critical programs.
- End-to-end design and execution of OSEs and OSSEs
- Observation impact assessment on forecast skill, bias reduction, and system performance
- Evaluation of current and future observing systems using mission-relevant scenarios
- Quantification of observation value for system design and investment decisions
- Alignment with operational workflows and research-to-operations (R2O) transitions
- Support for mission planning and observing system optimization
Diagnostics, Uncertainty & AI Evaluation
Rigorous assessment of forecast systems, AI/ML models, and complex workflows for reliability, explainability, and operational readiness.
