The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) will host a
webinar entitled "Systematic Improvements to Reanalyses of the Arctic
(SIRTA) White Paper Review and Discussion" on Monday, 11 July 2016 at
11:30 a.m-1:00 p.m. EDT.
A draft White Paper, which has been prepared at the request of the
Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC), is now available
for community review and comment. This white paper on atmospheric
reanalyses, with a focus on issues related to Arctic reanalyses, was
requested in May 2015 by the IARPC Principals. A small working group was
formed in the fall of 2015 under the leadership of Richard Cullather,
Tom Hamill, David Bromwich, and Xingren Wu. The working group held four
open meetings for the community to share ideas and provide input to the
white paper.
The working group was asked to develop a white paper to:
a)evaluate the state, utilization, limitations and potential utility of
the current Arctic reanalyses;
b) inventory and assess the currently planned operational and
experimental observations of the Arctic system to improve reanalyses;
c) examine reanalyses products and forecast models for potential
improvement; and
d)assess the potential utility of YOPP and CMIP6 as focal points to
facilitate progress.
Based upon these instructions, the working group has prepared a white
paper which is now available for further community review and input.
