Development of Data Assimilation Systems for the Ionosphere, Thermosphere, and Mesosphere
To fully realize the capabilities of ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere (ITM) data assimilation (DA) systems for both scientific investigations and operations, several critical advances are needed. This white paper outlines the outstanding challenges facing ITM DA that need to be addressed in the coming decade, and details how these will benefit the scientific and operational communities.
