GlobMODEL is a part of the ESA Data User Element (DUE) programme which aims to determine how to strengthen the operational and research use of EO by the Earth System Modelling (ESM) user community, in order to fully exploit current and future European investments in earth observation infrastructure.

There are two parts to the project: a Study and a Demonstration.

The Study will provide an analysis of the existing and potential use of EO in ESM, based on consultation with the user community. It will propose a strategy and recommendations to ESA for achieving a greater use of EO. The Demonstration will provide an illustration of the issues raised in the Study, focused on the assimilation of SCIAMACHY and OMI data for stratospheric ozone and tropospheric air quality applications.

During the study a workshop will be held to present the preliminary findings and to give the wider user community an opportunity contribute to the recommendations.
