The Consortium for Advanced Data Assimilation Research and Education (CADRE), funded by NOAA, is revolutionizing weather forecasting through cutting-edge data assimilation research and workforce development. By integrating observations with numerical models, CADRE provides an evolving picture of the Earth system, crucial for accurate weather and climate predictions. This $6.6 million initiative, led by the University of Oklahoma and involving six universities, aims to enhance NOAA's numerical weather prediction systems, improving the accuracy of extreme weather forecasts and climate response strategies. CADRE's innovative approach leverages artificial intelligence, new observation platforms, and advanced mathematics to push the boundaries of data assimilation science.
