AGU Session on Reanalyses

Please consider presenting at or attending session A20 "Progress and Uncertainty in Reanalysis Datasets" at the AGU 2010 Fall Meeting , 13-17 December 2010, San Francisco, California, USA.

By synthesizing observations from various conventional and satellite observing systems, reanalysis datasets provide comprehensive long-term descriptions of the climate system that are used in numerous researches and applications. Recently five new global reanalyses (ECMWF ERA-interim, Japanese 25-year ReAnalysis (JRA-25), NASA Modern Era Retrospective-analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA), NOAA-CIRES 20th Century Reanalysis (20CR), NOAA-NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR)) based on advanced assimilation systems from different agencies became available to the research community. The goal of this session is to advance the awareness of the progress and uncertainty in these new reanalyses, so as to benefit the research based on reanalysis datasets.

Presentations on the introduction, evaluation, inter-comparison, and application of reanalysis datasets are all welcome.
