This presentation will focus on the scope and nature of the International Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE) Initiative (http://www.met-acre.net/) which:
1. undertakes and facilitates historical global surface instrumental terrestrial and marine weather data recovery, imaging and digitisation over the last 200-250 years
2. improves the quality, and enhances the quantity, of surface weather observations for assimilation into all dynamical global 4D weather reconstructions or reanalyses, to create new, state-of-the-art, baselines of the weather
3 ensures that reanalyses outputs are freely available and feed seamlessly into the climate science, climate applications and services, impacts, risks and extremes communities.
The ACRE Initiative is also:
1 expanding its strong citizen science program through efforts such as Old Weather, Weather Detective and Southern Weather Discovery
2 developing an integrated cross-disciplinary focus (climate science melding with social sciences and humanities) on historical reanalyses and weather reconstructions
3 ensuring that this material is analysed and assessed in a longer historical context, incorporating climate knowledge based on historical narrative accounts of the impacts and responses associated with past climate variability and extreme weather events, while exploring its influence on strategic planning and thinking
4 adding higher-value to existing climate services approaches
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcc.379/pdf).
Registration has closed.
This meeting is part of the Royal Meteorological Society Meetings programme, open to all, from expert to enthusiast, for topical discussions on the latest advances in weather and climate. Free to attend. Non members are welcome.
