The ECMWF/GEO Workshop on Atmospheric Reanalyses
will be held from 19 to 22 June 2006.
The workshop will consider the status of and plans for global reanalysis in Europe, Japan and North America, and will identify the work needed to prepare for the new generation of multi-decadal global reanalyses to succeed ERA-40, JRA-25 and the NCEP reanalyses. Conclusions of recent workshops covering observational aspects (the ECMWF workshop on bias-correction of satellite data, and others held elsewhere) will be reviewed, and specific consideration will be given to complementary aspects of data-assimilation development and to key user requirements. The scope for coordination of international reanalysis activities will be examined. A special session on regional reanalysis for Europe could also be held, depending on the outcome of a meeting on this topic planned for November 2005.
Workshop attendance is by invitation only.
