Earth System Collaborations and Reanalyses Workshop Discussions

POS Summary Report
Nick Bond
Mike Bosilovich
OCB Discussion
Extended discussion on collaborations
Potentially with AMOC
Not in a position (knowledge of needs or
independent expertise) to propose a WG at
present; open to further discussion
With better knowledge of specific issues related
to physics can provide help, especially on aspects
related to sub-surface ocean properties.
After May 2012 Reanalysis Conference, may make
sense to propose a WG on reanalysis involving
OCB community (tracer-conserving analyses)
Integrated Earth System Analysis (IESA)
Workshop: Reanalyses improving
Impact of observation system changes
Integrating Earth systems
Issues raised here
Budget imbalances are detrimental to carbon
cycling and other uses  (Action?)
Users should make use of increments (residuals)
Need to exploit multitude of reanalyses: rough
estimate of uncertainty (e.g. Yan Xue’s evaluation)
IESA Working Group: Wait for outcome of the
WCRP International Conference on Reanalyses
Terrestrial Regional North American
Hydroclimate Experiment (TRACE)
Discussions forming out of Pan-GEWEX (2010)
Objectives: Providing regional scale climate predictions for
stresses on water supply and management
Likely developing observational resources, hydrologic
modeling
Needs global scale predictions for large scale features
Ultimately, overlap in numerous topics with US CLIVAR
panels
Reaching out to USCLIVAR, bridging GEWEX work a
favorable effort; Fundable (Rosen)
Actions: Provide USCLIVAR with workshop report
Joint  meeting with USCLIVAR at OSC
 anyone interested in being added to telecons
Some comments to take back; USCLIVAR position?
ENSO Diversity WG Prospectus
(Capotondi, Kirtman)
Started prospectus after last Summit: Focus on central
Pacific ENSO, Strong WG formed
Review literature on: examine evaluation methods and
shortcomings for broader perspective
Parse differences and examine mechanisms (link with GW
signal, NPGO, hurricanes, extreme events)
Online documentation development
Tasks
Longitudinal position of the warming (obs)
Examine CMIP5 performance on ENSO diversity
Deliver: White paper to BAMS; Workshop in 2
nd
 yr
Need more clarity on conventional versus unusual  ENSO
and the characterization metrics
POS Supports WG proposal goes forward
Synthesis of Upper Ocean heat Budgets in
Eastern Basins WG Prospectus (de Szoeke)
Motivation: Modeled (SST and fluxes) errors
against the buoy obs;  warming oceans too
much  (eastern boundary currents)
Need consistent approach to estimating the
heat budget with community involvement
Prospectus in formative state
Working Group names need to be invited:
Encourage community consensus on the way
forward
Monitoring Climate Indices from
Ocean Reanalyses Review (Xue)
Using subsurface ocean data from ocean reanalyses
A 
real-time
 ensemble could provide a useful tool with
uncertainty estimate
Developed from OceanObs ‘09 international group
CPC GODAS Monitoring Page
Coordinating with NOAA Fisheries looking at coastal upwelling
Objectives: identify gaps in obs system, DA systems, IC for
ocean init.; develop real time climate indices
Should be a major benefit to Ocean reanalysis developers;
how to encourage feedback to developers?
Limitation:  not all ocean reanalyses available in real time
Going Forward:  Write a letter of support from USCLIVAR to
CLIVAR; and data developers – encourage data availability;
populate reanalysis.org oceans section
Extremes: Societal sectors
Heatwaves (interaction with drought), cold spell,
record events, extreme precipitation
ENSO/Land modulation of extremes
Model representation of precipitation PDF is
different from that of observations
Inline with USCLIVAR objectives and developing a
community effort
Looking Forward: Interest in developing a
working group prospectus – (Sasha, Matt, Mike)
Links with PPAI; Also ENSO Diversity WG

In a series of workshops and discussions, topics surrounding collaborations within the field of Earth system analysis were explored. Key points included the need for better understanding of specific physics-related issues, the importance of budget balancing for carbon cycling, and utilizing a variety of reanalyses to estimate uncertainty. Various working groups and projects were proposed, focusing on areas such as ocean properties, climate predictions, ENSO diversity, and regional hydroclimate experiments.
