(TP) strongly affects regional weather and climate as well as global atmospheric circulations. Here six reanalysis products (i.e., MERRA, NCEP/NCAR-1, CFSR, ERA-40, ERA-Interim, and GLDAS) are evaluated using in situ measurements at 63 weather stations over the TP from the Chinese Meteorological Administration (CMA) for 1992–2001 and at nine stations from field campaigns (CAMP/Tibet) for 2002–2004. The measurement variables include daily and monthly precipitation and air temperature at all CMA and CAMP/Tibet stations as well as radiation (downward and upward shortwave and longwave), wind speed, humidity, and surface pressure at CAMP stations. Four statistical quantities (correlation coefficient, ratio of standard deviations, standard deviation of differences, and bias) are computed, and a ranking approach is also utilized to quantify the relative performance of reanalyses with respect to each variable and each statistical quantity. Compared with measurements at the 63 CMA stations, ERA-Interim has the best overall performance in both daily and monthly air temperatures, while MERRA has a high correlation with observations. GLDAS has the best overall performance in both daily and monthly precipitation because it is primarily based on the merged precipitation product from surface measurements and satellite remote sensing, while ERA-40 and MERRA have the highest correlation coefficients for daily and monthly precipitation, respectively. Compared with measurements at the nine CAMP stations, CFSR shows the best overall performance, followed by GLDAS, although the best ranking scores are different for different variables. It is also found that NCEP/NCAR-1 reanalysis shows the worst overall performance compared with both CMA and CAMP data. Since no reanalysis product is superior to others in all variables at both daily and monthly time scales, various reanalysis products should be combined for the study of weather and climate over the

in the central Arctic in April–August 2007.

The following reanalyses were included in the study: the European ERA-Interim, the Japanese JCDAS, and the U.S. NCEP-CFSR, NCEP-DOE, and NASA-MERRA. All reanalyses included large errors. ERA-Interim was ranked first; it outperformed the other reanalyses in the bias and root-mean-square-error (RMSE) for air temperature as well as in the bias, RMSE, and correlation coefficient for the wind speed. ERA-Interim suffered, however, from a warm bias of up to 2°C in the lowermost 400 m layer and a moist bias of 0.3 to 0.5 g kg−1throughout the 890 m layer. The NCEP-CFSR, NCEP-DOE, and NASA-MERRA reanalyses outperformed the other reanalyses with respect to 2-m air temperature and specific humidity and 10-m wind speed, which makes them, especially NCEP-CSFR, better in providing turbulent flux forcing for sea ice models. Considering the whole vertical profile, however, the older NCEP-DOE got the second highest overall ranking, being better than the new NCEP-CFSR. Considering the whole group of reanalyses, the largest air temperature errors surprisingly occurred during higher-than-average wind speeds.

All eight reanalyses reproduce the regionally averaged seasonal cycle fairly well; a few spatial mismatches with the observations are found in the climate mean for the rainy season. Principal component analyses show a dipole in the leading modes of all reanalyses, however with crucial differences in its spatial position. Possible reasons for the differences between the reanalyses are discussed on the basis of the ERA-interim and 20CRv2 results. A comparison between the moisture transports shows that ERA-interim manifests a very strong moisture convergence over the eastern equatorial Atlantic, resulting in the strong precipitation here. This excessive convergence may be due to the water-vapor assimilation and convection parameterization. Over the Indian Ocean, the ITCZ is shifted northward in ERA-interim compared to its position in 20CRv2. This discrepancy is most likely attributable to the meridional SST gradients in the Indian Ocean which are significantly larger in the ERA-interim than those in the 20CRv2, and the resulting atmospheric response prevents a southward shift of the ITCZ. Overall, the consistent description of the dynamical circulation of the atmosphere and the hydrological cycle appears as a crucial benchmark for reanalysis data. Based on our evaluation, the preferential reanalysis for investigating the climate variability over southern Africa is 20CRv2 that furthermore spans the longest time period, hence permitting the most precise investigations of interannual to decadal variability.", "publicationTitle": "Climate Dynamics", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "FEB 2013", "volume": "40", "issue": "3-4", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "951-962", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Clim.

A long-term correction has\nto be performed in order to decrease the influences\nof year-to-year wind variations on the short-\nterm wind statistics.\nThe objective of this study is to evaluate the use\nof different reanalysis data sets as long-term\nreferences for energy production estimation. Wind d\nata from three different datasets are\nanalyzed in six different onshore sites located in\nBrazil, North-Africa, South-Africa, Poland and\nScandinavia.\nThe three data sets are two reanalysis datasets and\ncommercial Mesoscale Data.\nThe two reanalysis datasets are the NCEP/NCAR (Nati\nonal Center for Environmental\nPrediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research\n) and the MERRA (Modern-Era\nRetrospective analysis for Research and Application\ns) reanalysis datasets. NCEP/NCAR has\nbeen commonly used in wind resource analysis during\nthe last decade, while MERRA were\nrecently released.\nThe MERRA reanalysis data show a higher spatial and\ntemporal resolution (hourly) in\ncomparison with the NCEP/NCAR (6 hourly) which allo\nws a better representation of the local\nwind climate. The use of MERRA reanalysis wind data\ncould be a relevant improvement in\naccuracy for energy production estimation.\nThe commercial mesoscale data use in this study are\n: Vortex, Windtrend and 3TIER.\nIn general the MERRA reanalysis data lead to an imp\nrovement in the correlation coefficient.\nHowever, the choice of the most appropriate dataset\nshould be carefully analyzed for each\nspecific case.\nFurthermore, wind measurements and available ground\n-based meteorological data have also\nbeen used in this investigation.\nA comparison of all considered reanalysis data, com\nmercial mesoscale data and meteorological\nlong-term stations is presented.", "type": "", "date": "2012", "publisher": "", "place": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://proceedings.ewea.org/annual2012/allfiles2/1483_EWEA2012presentation.pdf", "accessDate": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "eng", "libraryCatalog": "Primo", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Meteorology and Climatology", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-02-21T16:57:27Z", "dateModified": "2014-02-21T17:44:35Z" } }, { "key": "HFZNKKPT", "version": 7, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 250316, "name": "NARR v CFSR v MERRA", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/narr_v_cfsr_v_merra", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/250316/items/HFZNKKPT", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/narr_v_cfsr_v_merra/items/HFZNKKPT", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1261598, "username": "Bibliobomb", "name": "Alex Hernandez", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bibliobomb", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "HFZNKKPT", "version": 7, "itemType": "webpage", "title": "EWEA 2012", "creators": [], "abstractNote": "", "websiteTitle": "", "websiteType": "", "date": "", "publisher": "", "place": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://proceedings.ewea.org/annual2012/proceedings/index2test.php?page=info2&id=21&id2=574&ordre=184&tr=&searchin=&what=&searchtext=&day=&top=&fil1=&fil2=&fil2&ord1=&sess=", "accessDate": "2014-02-21T17:43:27Z", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-02-21T17:43:27Z", "dateModified": "2014-02-21T17:43:27Z" } }, { "key": "PUVMBWXJ", "version": 2, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 250316, "name": "NARR v CFSR v MERRA", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/narr_v_cfsr_v_merra", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/250316/items/PUVMBWXJ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/narr_v_cfsr_v_merra/items/PUVMBWXJ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1261598, "username": "Bibliobomb", "name": "Alex Hernandez", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bibliobomb", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "PUVMBWXJ", "version": 2, "itemType": "webpage", "title": "Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR)", "creators": [], "abstractNote": "", "websiteTitle": "", "websiteType": "", "date": "", "publisher": "", "place": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data/climate-forecast-system-reanalysis-cfsr", "accessDate": "2014-02-21T16:46:22Z", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-02-21T16:46:22Z", "dateModified": "2014-02-21T16:46:22Z" } } ]
