International Conference on Reanalyses

Silver Spring, MD| May 7-11, 2012 | http://icr4.org

Conference Themes

Status and Plans: Major international reanalysis development, including broad disciplinary overviews (e.g., atmosphere, oceans, hydrology, cryosphere).

Validation and Metrics: Inter-comparison and validation studies; assessing the impact of the assimilation and analysis increments; innovative diagnostics that characterize the degree to which a reanalysis represents reality and ultimately applica­bility for weather and climate research.

Data Assimilation: Data assimilation techniques and impact on eventual reanalysis data products, especially producing a climate quality time series.

Space and In Situ Observations: Studies on the quality and stewardship of observations and their use in reanalyses and exploiting new data types and sources.

Applications in Support of Climate, Weather and Environmental Services: Innovative research using reanalysis to study the weather, ocean, hydrology and climate, including operational climate monitoring, study of extremes and high impact weather, climate assessment and end-to-end decision making studies.

International Collaborative Efforts: Projects and plans for developing and using reanalysis to the benefit of the international community.
