COMPARISON OF THREE TYPES OF AEROSOL PRODUCTS DURING 2015–2017 IN CHINA [PDF]
In this study, we use sunphotometer (AERONET) data as reference to evaluate MODIS, Himawari-08, and MERRA-2 aerosol products over China. AERONET data from Beijing, Xianghe, Xuzhou, Taihu and Hong Kong are used.

The Global Radiative Energy Budget in MERRA and MERRA-2: Evaluation with Respect to CERES EBAF Data [PDF]
AbstractThe representation of the long-term radiative energy budgets in NASA’s MERRA and MERRA-2 reanalyses has been evaluated, emphasizing changes associated with the reanalysis system update. Data from the CERES EBAF Edition 2.8 satellite product over 2001–15 were used as a reference.

Assessment of MERRA-2 Land Surface Energy Flux Estimates [PDF]
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 ...

Estimation of gravity wave parameters to alleviate the delay in the Antarctic vortex breakup in general circulation models [PDF]
The impact of optimal parameters in a non-orographic gravity wave drag parameterization on the middle atmosphere circulation of the Southern hemisphere is examined. Optimal parameters are estimated using a data assimilation technique.

The Energy Budget of the Polar Atmosphere in MERRA [PDF]
Abstract Components of the atmospheric energy budget from the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) are evaluated in polar regions for the period 1979–2005 and compared with previous estimates, in situ observations, and contemporary reanalyses.
