Comparison of Stratospheric Variables in the Recent Reanalyses

An examination of stratospheric temperature, wind, and ozone characteristics in the recent reanalyses (ERA-Interim, MERRA, CFSR and JRA-25) is presented. Monthly climatology of these variable and time series of their anomalies will be presented. The point is to show how well they agree and where and when do they disagree. The focus will be upon the polar and tropical latitudes. This may serve as a starting point for discussions at this meeting.
