<p style="margin: 0px;"><br>

<p style="margin: 0px;">Session Description:</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">Data Assimilation techniques have long been used in many areas of science and engineering. Over the past decades, these techniques have become a dominant tool for specifications and forecasts in meteorology and oceanography and more
recently data assimilation methods have also been developed for the space environment largely due to the rapid increase in the number of data from a variety of sources that have become available. These methods are currently becoming one of the foremost tools
for integrating observations from different sources and producing a coherent picture of the space system dynamics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. Papers dealing with data sources, data quality issues, and data assimilation techniques are welcome. Special emphasis
will be given to contributions that describe new developments and the use of data assimilation methods to unravel the physics of the space environment.</p>
