Description
Most of the Eulerian and Lagrangian models used in moisture transport analysis rely on reanalysis products for their initial and boundary conditions. Although these phenomena are varied, atmospheric rivers (ARs) and low-level jets (LLJs) are the two most prominent phenomena. We have compared the vertically integrated water vapor column (IWV) fields provided by the two most commonly used reanalyses with the new CCI product. This analysis has been carried out for the regions of interest for moisture transport processes and over 35k AR and 10k LLJ events. Likewise, the goodness of temporal correlations has been evaluated. The results show a high degree of agreement, with relatively small BIAS and high temporal correlations for these regions.
