JEDI SkyLab can now conduct experiments with newly published data, including near-real-time data assimilation with UFS backgrounds. This allows for a quick evaluation of the impact of new instruments or commercial data in a real-world context before they are integrated into operational systems like the UFS. The ability to rapidly integrate new sensors and conduct experiments with the latest data will play a key role in improving the accuracy of future weather and climate forecasting in the UFS.
