Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation

Improving and accelerating the use of satellite data in weather and ocean analysis and prediction systems.

2024 was a big year for JCSDA with the launch of our space weather data assimilation project, several spack-stack releases, and the conclusion of JCSDA’s Disaster Relief Appropriations Supplemental (DRAS) project with exceptional success!

A bipartisan Dear Colleague Letter with 24 signatures has been sent requesting funding for weather prediction innovation in any disaster supplemental or upcoming appropriations bills for science and technology, specifically highlighting JCSDA and JEDI:

Last month the JCSDA held a code sprint to begin standardizing variable names across JEDI. This ensures that JEDI remains model agnostic, eliminates unnecessary code duplication, and ensures consistency across all JEDI model interfaces.

With the DRAS funding JCSDA was able to add an incredible amount of workflow and infrastructure support, develop and combine the components of JEDI SkyLab, optimize software, develop marine data assimilation and improve CRTM:

The OceanPredict Task Teams for Coupled Prediction (CP-TT) and for Data Assimilation (DA-TT) would like to announce their next Joint Workshop on "Advances in coupled modeling, data assimilation, and predictions" to be held in Boulder, Colorado from 19-22 May 2025.

Adding MPAS experiments to Skylab not only expands Skylab’s functionality, it also allows the team to check that Skylab is being built to be model-agnostic.

Fabio Diniz and Nate Crossette from JCSDA joined BJ Jung, Chris Snyder, and Jake Liu from MMM at the MPAS-JEDI Tutorial to present the generic features in JEDI and how to build JEDI interfaced with MPAS. Exciting to get more people doing data assimilation with JEDI & MPAS!

JEDI SkyLab can now experiment with newly published data, including near-real-time data assimilation with UFS backgrounds. This enables fast evaluation of new instruments and commercial data in a real-world context before integration into operational systems.

Look at it go. 😊

GOES-U set off into space the evening of June 25, setting its sights on our beautiful planet.
