What is GMAO?

GMAO stands for the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office at NASA. The GMAO develops and uses advanced computer models to simulate and understand the Earth's climate system. These models are used for weather forecasting, climate prediction, and atmospheric composition studies. GMAO models assimilate observational data from satellites, ground-based instruments, and other sources to create comprehensive analyses of the Earth's atmosphere, ocean, and land surface. The models are frequently used in support of NASA missions and broader scientific research.
