1.1  JRA资料简介

The JapanMeteorological Agency (JMA) conducted JRA-55, the second Japanese globalatmospheric reanalysis project. It covers 55 years, extending back to 1958,coinciding with the establishment of the global radiosonde observing system.Compared to its predecessor, JRA-25, JRA-55 is based on a new data assimilationand prediction system (DA) that improves many deficiencies found in the firstJapanese reanalysis. These improvements have come about by implementing higherspatial resolution (TL319L60), a new radiation scheme, four-dimensionalvariational data assimilation (4D-Var) with Variational Bias Correction (VarBC)for satellite radiances, and introduction of greenhouse gases with time varyingconcentrations. The entire JRA-55 production was completed in 2013, andthereafter will be continued on a real time basis.

Specificearly results of quality assessment of JRA-55 indicate that a large temperaturebias in the lower stratosphere has been significantly reduced compared toJRA-25 through a combination of the new radiation scheme and application ofVarBC (which also reduces unrealistic temperature variations). In addition, adry land surface anomaly in the Amazon basin has been mitigated, and overallforecast scores are much improved over JRA-25.

Most ofthe observational data employed in JRA-55 are those used in JRA-25.Additionally, newly reprocessed METEOSAT and GMS data were supplied by EUMETSATand MSC/JMA respectively. Snow depth data over the United States, Russia andMongolia were supplied by UCAR, RIHMI and IMH respectively.

The DataSupport Section (DSS) at NCAR has processed the 1.25 degree version of JRA-55with the RDA (Research Data Archive) archiving and metadata system. The modelresolution data has also been acquired, archived and processed as well,including transformation of the TL319L60 grid to a regular latitude-longitudeGaussian grid (320 latitudes by 640 longitudes, nominally 0.5625 degree). AllRDA JRA-55 data is available for internet download, including completesubsetting and data format conversion services.

Both daily and monthly data areencoded in Gridded binary (GRIB) Edition 1 format (WMO 2011). (Daily datainclude 3-, 6- and 24-hourly data, which vary by category).
