USCLIVAR Reanalysis Workshop Nov 1-3

Within the last year or so, and in addition to the availability of MERRA data, ECMWF Interim, NCEP CFSR and NOAA 20CR have made data available. Each system has its own strengths and weaknesses. USCLIVAR has initiated a workshop this year. One of the foci is to evaluate these new reanalyses in a climate sense, but also to determine what is needed for the integration of Earth system components (IESA, Integrated Earth System Analysis). In addition to the atmospheric reanalyses, there will be sessions for various disciplinary reanalyses (ocean, land, cryosphere, chemistry and aerosols), and how to couple them. This should be an excellent opportunity for the research community to interact with the reanalysis developers and begin to define the needs for subsequent reanalyses.
