Title
ALERA2
Abstract
AFES–LETKF experimental ensemble reanalysis 2 produced on the Earth Simulator.
Model Characteristics
AFES (AGCM for the Earth Simulator) is run at a resolution of T119L48 (about 100 km in the horizontal and 48 layers in the vertical). The PREPBUFR complied by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and archived at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is used for the observational data and assimilated using the LETKF (local ensemble transform Kalman filter).

Abstract (Brief description of the experiment contents (initial conditions, boundary conditions, etc.))
Administration daily 0.25 Optimal Interpolation Sea-Surface Temperature (OISST) version 2 was used for ocean and sea ice boundary conditions. Seven and 8 reanalysis datsest were made for each study.
1) 01/DEC/2015-31/MAR/2016
CTL included all PREPBUFR data. OSE_B, OSE_Ba, OSE_E, OSE_J, OSE_L excluded additional radiosonde observation data at each station (Bear Island, Barrow, Eureka, Jan Mayen, and RV Lance). OSE excluded these all additional radiosonde observation data.
2) 26/JUL/2016-30/AUG/2016
CTL included all PREPBUFR and radiosonde observations from RVs Polarstern, Araon and Branova station. OSE_B, OSE_A, OSE_P OSE_MID and OSE_TRO excluded additional radiosonde observation data at each station (RVs Polarstern and Araon, Branova stationm midlatitude and tropical stations).
3) 15/AUG/2016-28/SEP/2016
CTL included all PREPBUFR and radiosonde observations from RV Mirai, Global Hawk and Canadian stations. OSE_M, OSE_G, OSE_C excluded additional radiosonde observation data at each station (RV Mirai, Global hawk and Canadian stations). OSE_MGC excluded these all additional radiosonde observation data.
