چکیده
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the temperature and zonal wind biases in eight reanalysis data products, with a focus on stratospheric levels. The study identifies biases in each reanalysis from the “reanalysis mean” (defined as the mean of the MERRA, ERA-Interim, and JRA-55 reanalyses). It then examines reanalysis temperature biases with respect to HIRDLS (an independent satellite measurement)

Interactive comment on “Climatology and Interannual Variability of Dynamic Variables in Multiple Reanalyses Evaluated by the SPARC Reanalysis Intercomparison Project (S-RIP)” by Craig S. Long et al
This paper provides a comparison of climatological aspects of the stratospheric temperature and wind fields produced by multiple reanalyses, covering the current and previous generations of product from the major providers. It is in general quite clearly written, and the discussion of results is even-handed in its treatment of the various reanalyses. It and companion papers from the S-RIP are l...

متن کاملInteractive comment on “Stratospheric and tropospheric SSU/MSU temperature trends and compared to reanalyses and IPCC CMIP5 simulations in 1979–2005” by A. M. Powell Jr. et al
This paper presents a comparison of global temperature variations in the stratosphere and troposphere between satellite measurements (SSU + MSU), reanalysis data sets, and CMIP5 models. The focus is on comparing interannual variability and trends among the data sets, and direct comparisons are made by constructing weighted averages of the reanalysis and model temperatures to approximately match...

متن کاملExplosive Cyclogenesis: A Global Climatology Comparing Multiple Reanalyses
A global climatology for rapid cyclone intensification has been produced from the second NCEP reanalysis (NCEP2), the 25-yr Japanese Reanalysis (JRA-25), and the ECMWF reanalyses over the period 1979–2008. An improved (combined) criterion for identifying explosive cyclones has been developed based on preexisting definitions, offering a more balanced, normalized climatological distribution. The ...
