3. Reanalysis Report Michael Bosilovich, Pierre Gauthier, Adrian Simmons, Detlef Stammer and RusselVose
Joint Reanalysis Data Working Group • Reanalysis Input Catalog • Recommend to go forward • Include quality review • Support disciplinary input data sets (also contributes to preparation for coupled reanalyses) • Link to reanalyses output (obs, forecast error, analysis error, etc) • Recommend to concentrate on in-situ observations maintenence (satellite obs, radiances and retrievals have stewards)
WCRP Reanalysis Pamphlet • Generally supported, but needs champion • Should encompass all disciplinary reanalyses • An Introductory description on the purpose of the pamphlet • First Step, request for information (template) • Project Name (Contact) • Specs (time,space domain) • Unique features or objectives • Future planning
4th International Reanalysis Conference • Some agreement on early April 2012 • not too close to WCRP Science Conference? • Will check WCRP calendars • Will work with David Legler? and NCEP on developing the local organizing committee • Program committee • M. Bosilovich (Chair, Climate/Weather studies) • D. Stammer (Ocean/Ice) • A. Simmons • R. Vose (in situ Obs) • K. Trenberth? (Climate Dynamics/Variability, GEWEX) • JRA • NCEP • ESRL (Compo or Whitaker) • Data Assimilation (D. Dee, ECMWF) • Land Analysis (T. Koike, or others) • Sat Ob. (J Bates) • WGNE (C. Jakob? modeling, parameterization) • WCRP (G. Asrar) ? – Already invovled in the Open Sci. Conf.
Atmospheric Reanalysis Proliferation • Generally, a sign of a strong growing community • At this time, take advantage of multiple data sets • Consider outcome of the Technical Workshop on metrics discussions • Possible project to mitigate user questions: Coordinated Assessment of Reanalyses • When you consider space/time/variable dimensions, the project is huge • Manpower issues • Center participation, Independent lead (and/or PCMDI to facilitate assessments, analogous to AMIP CMIP exps.) • Perhaps a community wiki?
