As part of the Work-Package 3 work, to demonstrate the value of
reanalysis to revisit and understand past events, data have been used to
reconstruct the weather conditions of the week around 13 December 1916.
During this week, extreme snowfall over North-Easter Italy and Austria
triggered many avalanches that caused the death of many thousand
soldeirs fightying in the Alps.
The ERA-CLIM2 M36 Review Meeting was held at the Univerrity of Vienna on 19 January 2017.
During the meeting (the Agenda and the List of Participants can be
accessed folowing the links at the top-right of this page), the Project
Coordinator and the Work-Package Leader presented the status of the
project to a representative of the European Commission and one external
reviewer. In summary, the past 12 months have seen the CERA-20C
reanalysis been completed: this is the first coupled reanalysis of the
20th century, a very impressive and unique achievement. CERA-20C is now
being used to generate the CERA-20C/Land and CERA-20C/Carbon reanalyses.
The production of few years of the CERA-SAT
reanalysis has started: the aim is to complete 8-to-10 years, say from
2008 to date. Thanks to the extension more data are being rescued and
post-processed, and are delivered to relevant data bases so that they
can be used in future reanalysis (e.g. in the forthcoming C3S ERA5
reanalysis, and in the future C3S ERA6 reanalysis). Furthermore, new
assimilation methods developed within the project are being integrated
in the software depositories, and some of them will be tested to assess
their possible impact on future reanalysis. The presentations given
during the Review Meeting can be accessed following the links below.
