Work Package 2: Earth system data assimilation
Work Package Leaders: Stefan Kollet (FZJ) and Maik Thomas (GFZ)
The objective of this work package is to develop and apply an Earth system data assimilation framework to improve models, provide best estimates of the current state of the Earth system, initialize predictions and design integrated Earth observing systems.
Tasks:
- Task 2.1: Implementation of data assimilation in Earth system model compartments
Team Leaders: Lars Nerger (AWI) and Jan Saynisch (GFZ)
- Task 2.2: Development of coupled Earth system data assimilation capacity
Team Leaders: Lars Nerger (AWI) and Harry-Jan Hendricks-Franssen (FZJ)
Expected results:
- Provision of an Earth system data assimilation framework
- Guidelines for best practices in coupled Earth system data assimilation
- Recommendations for future Earth system data assimilation activities in the Helmholtz Association
