An inter-comparison of Arctic synoptic scale storms between four global reanalysis datasets [PDF]
The Arctic is becoming more accessible as sea ice extent continues to decline, resulting in higher human exposure to Arctic storms. This study compares Arctic storm characteristics between the ECMWF-Interim Reanalysis, 55-year Japanese Reanalysis, NASA ...

An intercomparison of subtropical cut-off lows in the Southern Hemisphere using recent reanalyses: ERA-Interim, NCEP-CFRS, MERRA-2, JRA-55, and JRA-25 [PDF]
Four recent reanalysis products ERA-Interim, NCEP-CFSR, MERRA-2 and JRA-55 are evaluated and compared to an older reanalysis JRA-25, to quantify their confidence in representing Cut-off lows (COLs) in the Southern Hemisphere.

Permafrost Variability over the Northern Hemisphere Based on the MERRA-2 Reanalysis [PDF]
Abstract. This study introduces and evaluates a comprehensive, model-generated dataset of Northern Hemisphere permafrost conditions. Surface meteorological forcing fields from the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications-2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis data were used to drive an improved version of the land component of MERRA-2 in middle ...

Variation of black carbon in Northeast China based on ground observation and MERRA-2 reanalysis data [PDF]
The temporal variations of black carbon concentration at 7 sites, including Longfengshan, Anshan, Benxi, Dalian, Changchun, Shenyang, and Fushun, in Northeast China was studied based on up to 11 years of ground observations and MERRA-2 reanalysis dataset.
