Read: The ERA-Interim reanalysis: configuration and performance of the data assimilation system review article
ERA-Interim is the latest global atmospheric reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The ERA-Interim project was conducted in part to prepare for a new atmospheric reanalysis to replace ERA-40, and this article describes the forecast model, data assimilation method, and input datasets used to produce ERA-Interim, discussing the performance of the system with special emphasis placed on various difficulties encountered in the production of ERA-40.
