Abstract

The reanalysis at National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) focuses on atmospheric states reports generated by a constant model and a constant data assimilation system. The datasets have been exchanged among national and international partners and used in several more reanalyses. The new data assimilation techniques have been introduced including three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR), 4DVAR, and ensembles of analyses such as ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), which produce not only an ensemble mean analysis but also a measure of the uncertainty. The new climate forecast system reanalysis (CFSR) was executed to create initial states for the atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea ice that are consistent as possible with the next version of the climate forecast system (CFS) version 2, which is to be implemented operationally at NCEP in 2010. Several graphical plots were generated automatically at the end of each reanalyzed month and were displayed on the CFSR Web site in real time.
