Our mission can be broken into 3 core themes. 

  1. Earth system science: Delivering fundamental and applied science that advances our understanding of the Earth system and provides information to decision makers.
  2. Modeling capability: Developing, delivering, and supporting the use of a world-leading Earth System Model (ESM) and related software infrastructure.
  3. Simulation and observation data: Delivering state-of-the-art open-access data from ESMs, tools to analyze this data as well as compare to observations, and guidance on the use of both ESM and observation-based data.
