  • Various input data were used by the 20th Century Reanalysis project team including surface pressure observations from the International Surface Pressure Databank version 2. The original observations from the International Surface Pressure Databank version 2 used in the project are archived with associated original metadata and model quality control information. These are the only records which have the original station metadata and source information and model quality control information on the same record. The 20th Century Reanalysis dataset provides 6 hourly analyses on a Global 2.0 degree latitude x 2.0 degree longitude global grid from 1871 to present produced from a series of 56-member ensemble runs. For each output time step ensemble means and associated spreads have been calculated and form a continuous dataset over the entire timespan of the dataset. The data contain fields at the surface and on pressure levels from 1000 hPa to 10 hPa and are also available as part of the copy held by the British Atmospheric Data Centre. The dataset authors request that the following acknowledgment be included in all papers using the dataset: 'Support for the Twentieth Century Reanalysis Project dataset is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (DOE INCITE - http://www.doeleadershipcomputing.org/incite-program/ ) program, and Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER - http://science.energy.gov/ber/ ), and by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Program Office (http://www.climate.noaa.gov/).'

  • The 20th Century Reanalysis (Version 2) Dataset was produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and University of Colorado's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), members of the international Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) project. This dataset collection contains twentieth century global climate reanalysis data, including output from each 56 members of the ensemble runs, their means, spreads and input observational data. The reanalysis was performed in various runs, each producing a 5 year period of output data. The data were produced through international cooperation under the auspices of the international Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE) initiative, and working groups of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). The 20CR project produced comprehensive global atmospheric circulation data spanning from late 19th century to the early 21st century, having only assimilated surface synoptic pressure observations and using observed monthly sea-surface temperature and sea-ice distributions from the HadISST dataset, courtesy of the Met Office Hadley Centre, as boundary conditions. Analyses every 6 hours on a 2 degree grid were produced to give the most likely state of the atmosphere based on a 56 ensemble member runs. Means, spreads and all ensemble members for each time step are available in the dataset archived at the BADC. The current 20CR output produced spans from 1871 to present with the BADC copy being updated when possible.
