Reanalyses¶
A description of the different reanalyses and the assessment of the impact of the dataset selection are presented in Horton and Brönnimann [4]. 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/NCAR Reanalysis 1:
- NCEP/DOE Reanalysis 1:
NCEP_R2
Use the original file names (yearly files)
- NCEP/DOE Reanalysis 1:
- NCEP CFSR original Grib files:
NCEP_CFSR
Use the original file names and directory structures
- NCEP CFSR original Grib files:
- NCEP CFSR subset from NCAR/UCAR as netcdf files:
NCEP_CFSR_subset
Use the original file names (yearly files)
- NCEP CFSR subset from NCAR/UCAR as netcdf 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 ERA5:
- 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-interim:
- 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 ERA 20th Century:
- 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)
- ECMWF Coupled ERA 20th Century:
- 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 (Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2):
- NASA MERRA-2 subset from MDISC:
NASA_MERRA_2_subset
Use the original file names
- NASA MERRA-2 subset from MDISC:
- JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis subset from NCAR/UCAR:
JMA_JRA_55_subset
Use the original file names
- JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis subset from NCAR/UCAR:
- JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis Conventional subset from NCAR/UCAR:
JMA_JRA_55C_subset
Use the original file names
- JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis Conventional subset from NCAR/UCAR:
- NOAA Twentieth Century Reanalysis v2c:
NOAA_20CR_v2c

- NOAA Twentieth Century Reanalysis v2c ensemble:
- NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature, version 2:
NOAA_OISST_v2
Use the original file names (single files – ex: sst_1deg.nc)
- NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature, version 2:
- A generic NetCDF 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.
