ESA hosts new international office in the UK to coordinate global climate modelling push

Climate models are used for understanding past climate and provide projections of potential changes. For addressing global warming, environmental changes and the resulting risks, there is an increased need and demand for further research and development in the field of climate modeling, together with the need for international collaboration.

Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC), University of Wisconsin-Madison

SSEC engineers and scientists develop and utilize space-, aircraft- and ground-based instrumentation to collect and analyze observations of the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and other planetary atmospheres to improve our understanding of weather, climate, and atmospheric processes. Through this research they produce new resources, products, and tools that are helping to improve the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasts.
