Climatology and Decadal Changes of Arctic Atmospheric Rivers Based on ERA5 and MERRA-2
Environmental Research: Climate, 2023 We present {the} Arctic atmospheric river (AR) climatology based on twelve {sets of} labels derived from ERA5 and MERRA-2 reanalyses for 1980–2019. The ARs were identified and tracked in the 3-hourly reanalysis data with a multifactorial approach based on either atmospheric column-integrated water vapor ($IWV$) or integrated water vapor transport ($IVT$

Wind Power Cogeneration to Reduce Peak Electricity Demand in Mexican States Along the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
, 2019 The Energetic Transition Law in Mexico has established that in the next years, the country has to produce at least 35% of its energy from clean sources in 2024.

Assessment of MERRA-2 Land Surface Energy Flux Estimates [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2018 In the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2) system the land is forced by replacing the model-generated precipitation with observed precipitation before it reaches the surface. This approach is motivated by the expectation that the resultant improvements in soil moisture will lead to improved land surface ...

Atmospheric Water Balance and Variability in the MERRA-2 Reanalysis
Journal of Climate, 2017 Abstract Closing and balancing Earth’s global water cycle remains a challenge for the climate community. Observations are limited in duration, global coverage, and frequency, and not all water cycle terms are adequately observed. Reanalyses aim to fill the gaps through the assimilation of as many atmospheric water vapor observations as ...

Discontinuities in the Ozone Concentration Time Series from MERRA 2 Reanalysis [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2019 Artificial discontinuities in time series are a great problem for trend analysis because they influence the values of the trend and its significance. The aim of this paper is to investigate their occurrence in the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA 2) ozone concentration data.

Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska, 2021 In this study seasonal and inter-annual patterns as well as trend in the total precipitable water vapour (TPW) over Malaysia, based on a 30-year data from MERRA-2, have been evaluated using least square regression method. Indicator TPW revealed a pair of

A new satellite-based global climatology of dust aerosol optical depth [PDF]
, 2020 By mass, dust is the largest contributor to global aerosol burden, yet long-term observational records of dust, particularly over the ocean, are limited.

An Assessment of NASA’s GMAO MERRA-2 Reanalysis Surface Winds [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2019 Abstract The quality of MERRA-2 surface wind fields was assessed by comparing them with 10 years of measurements from a wide range of surface wind observing platforms. This assessment includes a comparison of MERRA-2 global surface wind fields with the ones from its predecessor, MERRA, to assess if GMAO’s latest reanalyses improved the ...
