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.
