One of ERA-CLIM2 deliverables is CERA-20C, the first coupled reanalysis of the 20th
century (1900-2010). The CERA-20C production has been progressing well,
with about 85% of the 110 years reanalyses produced (it is expected
that production will be completed by the end of May 2016). "This figure
shows the annual average number of conventional surface pressure data
assimilated during the production from land, buoys, ships, coastal
stations and bogus observations.
The ERA-CLIM2 27-month formal ‘Review Meeting’ and a ‘Progress Meeting’ were held at ECMWF on the 25th and the 26th of April at ECMWF.
The Review meeting was attended by a representative of the European
Commission, two external reviewers and the ERA-CLIM2 Project Board (its
co-ordinator and work-package leaders). During the meeting, the
ERA-CLIM2 project board presented the work done within the different
work-packages in the past 9 months (the period covered by this formal
review), and gave the reviewers the opportunity to ask questions on how
work has been progressing. A formal review report will be sent to the
project board in the forthcoming weeks. The meeting agenda and the
presentations given by the project board can be accessed following the
links below.
The Progress meeting that followed the formal Review meeting was
attended by the ERA-CLIM2 project board and few people from the
work-packages (see list of participants), and by three people from the
Copernicus Climate Service (C3S) and the Copernicus Atmospheric
Monitoring Service (CAMS). The meeting started with C3S and CAMS talks
that presented the activities of the two Copernicus services, and was
followed by a detailed discussion of the WP-Leaders presentations given
to the Review meeting. In particular, forthcoming deliverables, and the
organization of the 3rd General Assembly in Wien (Jan 2017)
and of a workshop on coupled data assimilation (possibly in the fall of
2016) were discussed.
Overall, both meetings went very well. The ERA-CLIM2 project is on
track to complete all deliverables by the dates agreed following the
12-month project extension (the project started on 1 January 2014 and
will finish on 31 December 2017).
