  • IEA Wind TCP Topical Expert Meeting 111: Reanalyses for Wind Energy (TEM#111)

    • Dates: 25-26 April 2024
    • Location: DTU, Lyngby, Denmark
    • Website: https://iea-wind.org/2024/01/16/tem111-reanalyses-for-wind-energy/ 
    • Despite the vast adoption and the routine use of reanalysis datasets for Wind Energy purposes, the communication and knowledge sharing between reanalysis providers and Wind Energy scientists/practitioners remains sporadic and uncoordinated. This current situation leads to several missed opportunities and poses risks to the Wind Energy projects. In response to this challenge, this topical expert meeting will bring together a wide range of Wind Energy stakeholders (academia, utilities, developers, consultants, data providers) to serve the following objectives:
      • Improve access and documentation of reanalysis datasets.
      • Promote and foster validation and advertise successful applications of reanalysis datasets for Wind Energy applications, and thereby improve their value.
      • Act as a point of contact / collaboration forum between reanalysis providers and the Wind Energy communities.

     

 

2018

  • International Symposium on Regional Reanalysis (ISRR)

    • Dates: 17-19 July 2018
    • Location: Bonn, Germany
    • Abstract Submission Deadline has been extended to 20 April 2018!
    • Website: http://isrr.meteo.uni-bonn.de
      The first International Symposium on Regional Reanalysis will take place from 17 to 19 July 2018 in Bonn (Germany). With reanalysis and in particular reagional reanalysis data sets getting more and more attention, the goal of the symposium is to discuss and promote all aspects of regional reanalyses. We hope that such an event will function as a kick-off for a series of recurring conferences or meetings on regional reanalysis in the following years.

      The symposium invites all contributions on development, production, evaluation or application of regional reanalyses. Further, we would like to address the issue of better integrating applications and the interaction with users in reanalysis efforts by inviting speakers from this group (e.g. renewable energy, hydrology, agriculture) in an effort to enhance the outreach towards the users. Therefore, we plan to invite and encourage users of reanalysis especially outside the scientific community to join us at the symposium. In addition, as land surface heterogeneity is a crucial part in high-resolution modeling especially with respect to land surface changes, we want to dedicate a larger part of the input data session to efforts of generating high-resolution land surface data sets (and time series of these) applicable as lower boundary conditions in atmospheric reanalysis systems as well as in coupled reanalysis approaches.

2017

  • Fall 2017 American Geophysical Union

    • Dates: 11-15 December 2017
    • Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
    • Abstract Submission Deadline: 2 August 2017
    • Submit your abstract to AGU Session 25961 Progress in Reanalysis: Development, Evaluation, and Application by 2 August 2017
      Reanalysis is a scientific method for producing a physically complete estimation of the past state and variability of geophysical systems. Over the last decade, reanalysis data sets has have become a popular tool addressing multiple purposes in weather and climate sciences. Reanalyses are employed as a basis for applications building on long-term gridded data sets, as "true state" estimates in assessing the fidelity of model simulations, or as a source of information when studying short-term variability and long-term changes of the climate system. Continuous developments of reanalysis systems and the production of new global and regional data sets provide constant improvements of quality which are evaluated using independent observations and intercomparison approaches. 
      The session therefore welcomes contributions on new developments, evaluation and intercomparison as well as applications of reanalyses. We welcome contributions from all types of reanalyses, including but not limited to global, regional, atmospheric, ocean, and coupled reanalysis systems.
       

    • Submit your abstract to AGU Session 25204 Advances in Integrated Observations, Modeling and Predictions for Weather, Climate and Impact Assessments by 2 August 2017

      Improved observational, modeling and prediction systems are essential for assessing vulnerability leading to water security issues. In that regard, atmospheric and terrestrial processes and their long-term interactions need to be understood to better support policies on water management. Additionally, the development of new technologies and strategies to improve the collection and distribution of observations is central for adaptation and mitigation of the impacts from severe weather events to climate extremes.

      Contributions are invited that demonstrate the use of observations and models in addressing extreme hydrometeorological events. Experts in developing observational and information systems are invited to discuss ways to increase their effectiveness. In particular, presentations on advances being made in integrating observations from various sources, such as citizen weather observer programs, are welcome. Educators and students involved in outreach and extension programs on Earth observing systems for weather, climate and hydrological studies are also invited to contribute to this session.

  • January 10-14, 2016: AMS Annual Meeting - Sessions on Reanalysis , New Orleans, Louisiana.

20th Century Reanalysis: Methods and Applications
To better understand and model the observed variability of the earth system, one can rapidly expand the available record by objectively combining disparate observations with numerical model-generated guesses. The "reanalyses" or "syntheses" of atmospheric, oceanic, land, and cryospheric observations generated by such a data assimilation process provide comprehensive physically consistent descriptions of evolving system states. Such widely used datasets have become essential to the study of the earth system on timescales from hours to a century. However, they are not without room for improvement. This session welcomes all contributions on applications of reanalysis data, on comparisons of reanalyses and observations, on advancing reanalysis methodology, and on issues in using reanalysis for weather and climate problems.

Earth System Climate Reanalyses: Low Frequency Variability and Trends
The last three decades have been marked by major shifts in a number of climate modes of variability including the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation – shifts that have been linked to changes in drought and weather extremes throughout the world, as well as the recent hiatus in long-term surface temperature trends. Reanalyses offer a dynamically and physically consistent global interdisciplinary framework for assessing and understanding the nature of such regional changes. This session seeks contributions that take advantage of reanalyses of observations to address various aspects of climate variability and change as outlined above. This includes comparisons between the multi-disciplinary set of reanalyses of the Earth System(e.g. land, ocean, aerosol and cryosphere) and observations, downscaling of reanalyses including an assessment of changes in weather extremes, modeling (e.g., AGCM) studies that put the reanalysis results in the context of underlying climate uncertainty, as well as studies that seek to assess, understand and/or correct inhomogeneities that limit the usefulness of reanalyses for assessing low frequency variability and trends including efforts to improve the ability to produce consistent reanalyses of the coupled climate system.
