Brief Bio
Jérôme E. Barré is a Senior Research Scientist in NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), where he supports the development and transition of JEDI-based data assimilation for Earth system prediction, with a focus on atmospheric composition applications. He has more than 14 years of experience in satellite data assimilation, air quality and atmospheric composition forecasting, emissions monitoring, and Earth system modeling, with previous scientific roles at JCSDA, ECMWF, and NCAR. His work combines physical modeling, satellite and in situ observations, and emerging AI methods to improve forecasting and monitoring capabilities for atmospheric composition across research and operational systems.
