The SPARC (Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate) Reanalysis Intercomparison Project (S-RIP, https://s-rip.github.io/) is a coordinated activity since 2013 to: (1) compare all (or some of the newer) reanalysis data sets for various key diagnostics in the stratosphere, upper troposphere, and lower mesosphere; (2) understand the causes of differences among reanalyses; (3) provide guidance on the appropriate usage of various reanalysis products in scientific studies; and (4) connect such activities with future improvements in the reanalysis products by establishing collaborative links between the reanalysis centers and the SPARC community. In January 2022, the S-RIP published the Final Report with 12 chapters (https://www.sparc-climate.org/sparc-report-no-10/). In this talk, an overview is provided for the S-RIP and its Final Report, and plans for its ‘Phase 2’ are discussed.
