ESMO: bridging climate modelling and observations communities

ESMO coordinates, advances, and facilitates all modelling, data assimilation and observational activities within WCRP, working jointly with all other WCRP projects. Our mission is to facilitate the integration and coordination of climate modeling and observational efforts, fostering collaboration among scientists, stakeholders and decision makers. Through collaborative approaches and interdisciplinary partnerships, we aim to enhance the accuracy, reliability, and accessibility of climate data and projections.
