to its Member States. ECMWF carries out scientific and technical research directed to the improvement of its forecasts, collects and processes large amounts of observations, and manages a long-term archive of meteorological data. Satellite and in situ observations
provide the information for up-to-date global analyses and climate reanalyses of the atmosphere, ocean and land surface.

carrying a Doppler cloud radar, high spectral resolution lidar, multi-spectral imager and broad-band radiometer. EarthCARE offers significant opportunities for evaluation of cloud, precipitation and aerosol processes in the ECMWF model, and EarthCARE data
are planned to be assimilated into the model in real-time after launch. ECMWF is a major partner in the DORSY project (Doppler Radar and Synergy Products for EarthCARE) funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), which also involves McGill University in Canada
(the prime contractor) and the LATMOS laboratory in France. ECMWF’s role in the first three years of DORSY has been to develop the synergy algorithm “CAPTIVATE” (Cloud, Aerosol and Precipitation from mulTiple Instruments using a VAriational TEchnique) that
will be used by ESA after launch to provide operational products by combining EarthCARE’s radar, lidar and imager.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
