In this paper, we tackle the problem of jointly estimating the system states and partially unknown dynamics within distributed sensor-equipped networks, particularly in scenarios where only partial state observations are available. To address this issue, we propose an observer-based dynamic cooperative learning framework incorporating online distributed Gaussian Process (GP) regression, which enables accurate estimation despite incomplete in measurements and deficient GP models. In addition, a novel data collection strategy is introduced, with theoretical conditions ensuring feasible data acquisition. Moreover, we also derive an error upper bound encompassing state estimation and model estimation, leveraging the deterministic error bounds of GPs. Empirical simulations demonstrate the superiority of our approach compared to existing distributed GP-based methods.
