What Does OSSE Stand For?
OSSE stands for Observing System Simulation Experiment
The Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) is a methodological framework used to evaluate and improve observing systems in meteorology and related fields. By simulating the interactions between an observational network and numerical models, OSSEs help researchers assess the impact of different observing strategies on data assimilation and forecasting accuracy. This approach allows for informed decision-making regarding the design and optimization of observational programs, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of environmental monitoring and prediction systems.
