Elevation correction of ERA-Interim temperature data in complex terrain [PDF]
Air temperature controls a large variety of environmental processes, and is an essential input parameter for land surface models, for example in hydrology, ecology and climatology.

Blocking representation in the ERA-Interim driven EURO-CORDEX RCMs. [PDF]
While Regional Climate Models (RCMs) have been shown to yield improved simulations compared to General Circulation Model (GCM), their representation of large-scale phenomena like atmospheric blocking has been hardly addressed. Here, we evaluate the ability of RCMs to simulate blocking situations present in their reanalysis driving data and analyse the ...

Atmospheric conservation properties in ERA-Interim
We study the global atmospheric budgets of mass, moisture, energy and angular momentum in the latest reanalysis from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), ERA-Interim, for the period 1989–2008 and compare with ERA-40.

Age of stratospheric air in the ERA-Interim [PDF]
Abstract. The Brewer-Dobson mean circulation and its variability are investigated in the ERA-Interim over the period 1989-2010 by using an off-line Lagrangian transport model driven by analysed winds and heating rates. At low and mid-latitudes, the mean age of air in the lower stratosphere is in good agreement with ages derived from aircraft, high ...

Characterizing ERA-interim and ERA5 surface wind biases using ASCAT [PDF]
Abstract. This paper analyses the differences between ERA-Interim and ERA5 surface winds fields relative to ASCAT ocean vector wind observations, after adjustment for the effects of atmospheric stability and density, using stress equivalent winds (U10S), and air-sea relative motion using ocean current velocities.

Spatio-temporal trends in the hydroclimate of Turkey for the last decades based on two reanalysis datasets [PDF]
We present a regional assessment of the spatiotemporal trends in several hydro-climate variables from 1979 to 2010 in Turkey, one of the countries of the eastern Mediterranean vulnerable to climate change, using the two reanalysis products of the ECMWF ...

Ice supersaturated regions: properties and validation of ERA-Interim reanalysis with IAGOS in situ water vapour measurements [PDF]
Cirrus clouds and their potential formation regions, so-called ice supersaturated regions (ISSRs), with values of relative humidity with respect to ice exceeding 100 %, occur frequently in the tropopause region. It is assumed that ISSRs and cirrus

Brief communication: Evaluation of the near-surface climate in ERA5 over the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The ERA5 reanalysis, recently made available by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), is a new reanalysis product at a high resolution replacing ERA-Interim and is considered to provide the best climate reanalysis over Greenland
