The expected user group encompasses the entire community of atmospheric and climate sciences worldwide as well as the national and international weather services. The majority of users (approx. 80 %) comes from the scientific sector and is organized in international programmes and institutions (e. g. World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)). Other users come from the area of data assimilation (e. g. Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS)).
The quantification of the influences of changes in the middle atmosphere on the surface climate necessitates an integrated utilization of observational data, process-oriented simulations, and Earth system and climate modelling. A reduction of the uncertainties in model projections requires a data base with improved three-dimensional resolution as provided by AtmoSat. A scientific steering committee will be set up to integrate the scientific partners into the development of the project. It will comprise one representative from each of the responsible institutions and the scientific partners listed in the concept. Moreover, three further governance instruments will be established: First, an assembly of core partners, second, a board of directors, and third a scientific advisory board.
