Boundary layer height (BLH) is an important parameter in climatology and air pollution research, especially urban city. We calculated the BLH with a bulk Richardson number (Ri) method over cities of China during 1980–2018 using European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-interim data after carefully validation sounding obtained from two meteorology stations eastern 2010–2018....

Atmospheric heterogeneity mainly exposes itself as tropospheric-phase delay in Satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture radar (InSAR) observations, which smears or even overshadows the deformation component of InSAR measurements. In this study, we estimated performance four Global Models (GAMs), i.e. European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis v5 (ERA5), ERA-Interi...

An analysis of atmospheric energy transport in 22 years (1980–2001) of the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) is presented. In the analyzed budgets, there is a large cancellation between divergences of dry static and latent energy such that the total energy divergence is positive over all tropical oceanic regions except for the east Pacific cold tongue, consistent with previous studies. The west ...

Abstract Surface incident solar radiation ( R s ) is important for providing essential information on climate change. Existing studies have shown that the values from current reanalyses are significantly overestimated throughout China. The European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) recently released fifth generation of atmospheric reanalysis (i.e., ERA5) with a much higher spatiotem...

Abstract This study evaluates changes in simulated Pacific climate between two ECMWF re-analyses; the ERA Interim (ERAI) and newest ERA5. Changes Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) possibly sea surface temperature result greatly reduced discrepancies ERA5’s ice water path (IWP), radiative fluxes precipitation relative to satellite-based observational products. IWP shows largest percentage chan...

Deficiency and inappropriate distribution of reengage station is one of challenges faced by researchers in hydrology and climate science. In this research, evaluate the applicability of four gridded precipitation data products ERA-Interim, PERSIANN-CDR, PERSIANN-CCS and CRU as a supplement or substitute for ground data in a monthly time scales. This assessment was done by comparison with observ...

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 ...
