Global forecast capability Key processes Challenges for the JULES team Initial conditions Parameters Errors EO & sensor networks Continual testing & development JULES

The philosophy of data assimilation Observations and models contain useful information about the target system But ALL observations and models are subject to error - and may be subject to bias Models and observations can be combined to optimise information

Improving estimates of land surface process MODELS OBSERVATIONS FUSION ANALYSIS MODELS + Capable of interpolation & forecasts ─ Subjective & inaccurate? OBSERVATIONS + Clear confidence limits ─ Incomplete, patchy ─ Net fluxes ANALYSIS + Complete + Clear confidence limits + Capable of forecasts + Data consistency

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) Approach: Collect spatially resolved, high resolution spectroscopic observations of CO 2 and O 2 absorption in reflected sunlight Use these data to resolve spatial and temporal variations in the column averaged CO2 dry air mole fraction, X CO2 over the sunlit hemisphere Employ independent calibration and validation approaches to produce X CO2 estimates with random errors and biases no larger than ppm ( %) on regional scales at monthly intervals OCO will acquire the space-based data needed to identify CO 2 sources and sinks and quantify their variability over the seasonal cycle Source: David Crisp, JPL

Spanning measurement scales OCO will make precise global measurements of X CO2 over the range of scales needed to monitor CO 2 fluxes on regional to continental scales.
