Reanalyses

A description of the different reanalyses and the assessment of the impact of the dataset selection are presented in :cite:t:`Horton2018b`. AtmoSwing can read the following reanalyses (with the corresponding ID to use):

• NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis 1: NCEP_R1

  • Use the original file names (yearly files)

• NCEP/DOE Reanalysis 1: NCEP_R2

  • Use the original file names (yearly files)

• NCEP CFSR original Grib files: NCEP_CFSR

  • Use the original file names and directory structures

• NCEP CFSR subset from NCAR/UCAR as netcdf files: NCEP_CFSR_subset

  • Use the original file names (yearly files)

• ECMWF ERA5: ECMWF_ERA5

  • Use the original variable name in the file name (ex: z for geopotential)
  • Can be structured as a single file (ex: z.nc)
  • Can be structured as yearly files (ex: z.1998.nc)
  • Can be structured differently, but must be isolated in a directory.

• ECMWF ERA-interim: ECMWF_ERA_interim

  • Use the original variable name in the file name (ex: z for geopotential)
  • Can be structured as a single file (ex: z.nc)
  • Can be structured as yearly files (ex: z.1998.nc)
  • Can be structured differently, but must be isolated in a directory.

• ECMWF ERA 20th Century: ECMWF_ERA_20C

  • Must be 1 file per variable with the original variable name in the file name (ex: z.nc)

• ECMWF Coupled ERA 20th Century: ECMWF_CERA_20C

  • Must be yearly files with the original variable name in the file name (ex: z.1998.nc)

• NASA MERRA-2 (Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2): NASA_MERRA_2

  • Use the original file names and directory structures

• NASA MERRA-2 subset from MDISC: NASA_MERRA_2_subset

  • Use the original file names

• JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis subset from NCAR/UCAR: JMA_JRA_55_subset

  • Use the original file names

• JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis Conventional subset from NCAR/UCAR: JMA_JRA_55C_subset

  • Use the original file names

• NOAA Twentieth Century Reanalysis v2c: NOAA_20CR_v2c

  • Use the original file names (yearly files -- ex: z.1956.nc)

• NOAA Twentieth Century Reanalysis v2c ensemble: NOAA_20CR_v2c_ens

  • Use the original file names (yearly files -- ex: z500_1956.nc)

• NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature, version 2: NOAA_OISST_v2

  • Use the original file names (single files -- ex: sst_1deg.nc)

• :ref:`A generic NetCDF dataset <generic-dataset>`: Generic[__]

  • Use the original variable name in the file name (ex: z for geopotential)
  • Can be structured as a single file (ex: z.nc)
  • Can be structured as yearly files (ex: z.1998.nc)
  • Can be structured differently, but must be isolated in a directory.
