Description

This ITT will address clearly identified priority issues in climate modelling science that benefit from the use of satellite-based Essential Climate Variables (ECV). Work will focus on the use of multiple ESA/CCI Essential Climate Variables (ECV) across the land-atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere domains to improve aspects of climate modelling, such as model benchmarking, assimilation, reanalysis, initialisation, the development of climate services, and to constrain key processes within the Earth's energy, water and carbon cycles. Projects will strengthen the link between the satellite and climate modelling communities by teaming climate modellers, or experts in climate model analysis, with experts in the satellite ECVs. The main outputs will be scientific publications and technical reports on user requirements and product assessment by users.
