NOAA-CIRES Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project: 56 ensemble member run output for 2001 to present in GRIB format, Version II
Abstract
The 20th Century Reanalysis dataset provides 6 hourly analyses on a global grid from 1870 to present produced from a series of 56-member ensemble runs. These data are the from each of the 56 ensemble members from the run covering 2001 to present. These data were produced on a 2 degree latitude-longitude (180x91) global grid and include data both at the surface and on pressure levels.
The dataset authors request that the following acknowledgment be included in all papers using the dataset:
'Support for the Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project dataset is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (DOE INCITE - http://www.doeleadershipcomputing.org/incite-program/ ) program, and Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER - http://science.energy.gov/ber/ ), and by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Program Office (http://www.climate.noaa.gov/).'

| Data lineage: |
The Twentieth Century Reanalysis data were produced by the National Centers for Atmospheric Prediction (NCEP) and archived at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). The BADC obtained a complete copy of these data as archived at NERSC and have archived the data in the BADC archives splitting the data into the ensemble means with the associated spreads and the ensemble members for each of the runs making up the reanalysis dataset. |
| Data Quality: |
All data issues are reported in Compo GP,Whitaker JS, Sardeshmukh PD, Matsui N, Allan RJ, Yin X, Gleason Jr BE, Vose RS, Rutledge G, Bessemoulin P, Br¨onnimann S, Brunet M, Crouthamel RI, Grant AN, Groisman PY, Jones PD, Kruk MC, Kruger AC, Marshall GJ, Maugeri M, Mok HY, Nordli Ø, Ross TF, Trigo RM, Wang XL, Woodruff SD,Worley SJ. 2011. The Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project. Q. J. R. Meteorol. Soc. 137: 1–28. DOI:10.1002/qj.776 . Note: additional surface pressure observations were made available by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology after 1951-1955 run had been initiated. Therefore the 1946-1950 run was extended to the end of 1951 to incorporate these additional data and the data for 1951 should be taken from the 1946-1951 run. The ensemble means and spreads for 1951 from the 1951-1955 run have also been provided in the archive, but have been demarcated to allow the user to distinguish these data from the extended 1946-1951 run used in the means and spreads data.

| Abstract | This computation involved: April 2008 experimental version of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) deployed on Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's (OLCF) 'Jaguar' system Cray XT5 supercomputer. The April 2008 experimental version of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) was used to generate the 20th Century Reanalysis (Version 2) Project reanalysis dataset. For the production of the reanalysis data from the 20th Century Reanalysis (Version 2) Project the April 2008 experimental version of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) on the US Department of Energy's massively parallel system at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center. For specific details of the complete suite of physical parameterisations used in the model runs refer to the citation given in the "Documentation and Links to Further Information and References section". The Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project used resources of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and of the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which are supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 and Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725, respectively. Support for the Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project dataset is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (DOE INCITE) program, and Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER), and by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Program Office. The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's (OLCF) 'Jaguar' Cray XT5 supercomputer system delivers 2.33 petaflop/s (peak) of parallel processing compute with access to 326 terabytes of high-speed memory. The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), part of the US National Center for Computational Sciences, brought its 'Jaguar' system Cray XT5 supercomputer online in 2009, providing access to 2.33 Petaflops/s peak processing power to the research community. The 'Jaguar' system Cray XT5 supercomputer consists of an 84 cabinet quad-core Cray XT4 system and 200 upgraded Cray XT5 cabinets, using six-core processors. The XT4 has 8 gigabytes of memory per node while the XT5 has 16 gigabytes per node, giving the users a total of 362 terabytes of high-speed memory in the combined system. The two systems are connected to the Scalable I/O Network (SION), which links them together and to the Spider file system. The XT5 system has 256 service and I/O nodes providing up to 240 gigabytes per second of bandwidth to SION and 200 gigabits per second to external networks. The XT4 has 116 service and I/O nodes providing 44 gigabytes per second of bandwidth to SION and 100 gigabits per second to external networks. |
