assimilation techniques using various past observations. Reanalysis data have consistent technical quality over decades and provide vital context to many types of meteorological and climatological research and applications.
The first WCRP reanalysis conference was held in 1997, at NOAA in the USA, and the second in 1999, in Reading UK. In the 8 years since then, advanced data from the ERA-40 and JRA-25 reanalyses have become available and reanalysis data are now used worldwide as an essential standard data for climate research activities.
Following an initiative by WCRP, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) and the University of Tokyo, the 3rd WCRP Reanalysis Conference is planned to take place in Tokyo, Japan from 28th January to 1st February 2008.
The conference will focus on the following aspects.
Introduction of reanalyses
Applications using reanalysis data
Comparison and validation of characteristics of each reanalysis
Data assimilation technique for reanalysis
Strategy and international cooperation for future reanalysis
The conference will consider not only global atmospheric reanalysis but also ocean and land reanalysis, mainly from the viewpoint of interaction with the atmosphere.
