The JCSDA is pleased to announce the release of SkyLab 2.0!

JCSDA SkyLab 2.0 is the second roll-up release that provides integrated Earth System Data Assimilation capability, via a unified end-to-end system that includes a single code build, workflow, data store, and diagnostics dashboard https://skylab.jcsda.org. Advanced capabilities are demonstrated for multiple components of the Earth System: atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice, soil moisture, snow, and composition.

The main Skylab upgrades for release 2.0 include:
Atmosphere-land experiment: non-cycling EDA with FGAT-3DEnVar. More observation types (Synop, METAR, ASCAT, CrIS, IASI, Commercial GNSS-RO). Satellite bias correction. Upgrade to CRTM 2.4.
Marine experiment: non-cycling 3DVar. New instruments (sea ice concentration retrievals, and insitu temperature and salinity profiles)
Composition experiment: H(x) monitoring. New observations (TROPOMI NO2, and MOPITT CO, Aerosol Optical Depth from VIIRS and MODIS)
Support extended to support NOAA Orion, NASA Discover, University of Wisconsin S4, and AWS AMI.

SkyLab has been developed by the JCSDA with contributions from its Partner Agencies in NOAA, NASA, the US Air Force, and the US Navy.
