[AAS06-02] The APARC Reanalysis Intercomparison Project (A-RIP) and the Reanalysis Intercomparison Dataset (RID): Advancing Reanalysis Comparisons
★Invited Papers
キーワード:Reanalyses, Comparison, Dataset
Reanalysis datasets are widely used to study atmospheric processes, but differences among reanalysis products can lead to significant discrepancies in key diagnostics. The Atmospheric Processes And their Role in Climate (APARC) Reanalysis Intercomparison Project (A-RIP) (https://s-rip.github.io) is a coordinated effort to compare reanalysis diagnostics, identify underlying differences, provide guidance on their appropriate use, and contribute to the future development of reanalysis products through collaboration with data centers and users. Building on the outcomes of the first phase (S-RIP), this presentation will outline A-RIP’s objectives and introduce the Reanalysis Intercomparison Dataset (RID)—a comprehensive dataset designed to facilitate intercomparison across major global reanalyses. The RID provides zonal-mean diagnostics of fundamental atmospheric variables on a standardized grid, along with derived quantities such as the terms of the transformed Eulerian mean momentum and thermodynamic equations, as well as selected two-dimensional fields. Key findings from past intercomparison efforts and the role of the RID in advancing A-RIP’s objectives will be discussed.
