The stratospheric mean-meridional circulation (MMC) and eddy mixing are compared among six meteorological reanalysis data sets: NCEP-NCAR, NCEP-CFSR, ERA-40, ERA-Interim, JRA-25, and JRA-55 for the period 1979–2012. The reanalysis data sets produced using advanced systems (i.e., NCEP-CFSR, ERA-Interim, and JRA55) generally reveal a weaker MMC in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) compared with those ...

Abstract. This study quantifies differences among four widely used atmospheric reanalysis datasets (ERA5, JRA-55, MERRA-2, and CFSR) in their representation of the dynamical changes induced by springtime polar stratospheric ozone depletion Southern Hemisphere from 1980 to 2001. The intercomparison is undertaken as part SPARC (Stratosphere–troposphere Processes Role Climate) Reanalysis Intercomp...

Extreme precipitation events are becoming more common in the Arctic as climate warms, but characterizing these is notoriously challenging. Atmospheric reanalyses have become popular tools for studies data-sparse regions such Arctic. While modern been shown to perform reasonably well at reproducing climate, their ability represent extreme has not investigated depth. In this study, three of most ...

Abstract The high-resolution Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) data have recently become an alternative input for hydrological models in data-sparse regions. However, the quality of CFSR running Arctic is not well studied yet. This paper aims to compare with ground-based modeling watershed, Målselv. QSWAT model, a coupling model SWAT (soil and water assessment tool) QGIS, was applied th...

Evapotranspiration is a key process and necessary parameter for hydrological, meteorological, agricultural studies. However, the calculation of actual evapotranspiration very challenging costly. Therefore, reference (ET0) calculated using meteorological data generally preferred over evapotranspiration. it to get complete accurate from meteorology stations in rural mountainous regions. This stud...
