Our ability to monitor Earth’s dynamic systems is enabled by collecting measurements and data focused on: oceans, atmosphere, climate, and near-space.

Such data allows the understanding of how climate has changed over time, the development of complex climate models, as well as the possibility of estimating the impact of different climate control policies and strategies.

With special focus on climate science and climate change, scientific area #1 targets the study, measurement, and modeling of the complex interactive system dynamics of climate, weather, atmosphere, ocean, land, and near-space. Integrative models and methods of studying and analyzing enormous volumes of data will be implemented.
