Arctic System Reanalysis

Recognizing the importance of the Arctic region, as well as the tremendous amount of field work and supporting data sets, the Arctic System Reanalysis will perform a high resolution limited domain reanalysis for the Arctic. Recently, there was a Call for Community Involvement (unfortunately AGU member can only download this), printed in EOS (v 91, #2, 12 Jan 2010) looking for supplemental data and science interest in the project.

There has been quite a bit of recent evaluations of MERRA polar energy and water cycles. Some will be posted here shortly.
