<div class="session-value">"OSSEs
are increasingly complex, sophisticated, collaborative, and varied.
OSSE scientific results are used to support critical development and
deployment decisions. OSSEs are now used to evaluate+ Observations from
satellites, autonomous vehicles, etc.+ Of the atmosphere, ocean,
hydrosphere, land, and ice+ Sensed with IR, lidar, acoustic...
technologies+ At global, regional, catchment, harbor and other
scales.The goals of this session is to bring together researchers using
OSSEs or considering using OSSEs in diverse fields in order to share
scientific results and the approaches, methods, and experiences that
lead to these findings."</div>
