Abstract
The National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) conducted its first global data retrospective analysis (reanalysis) for the period 1 January 2000-31 March 2011 using its GFS based system (NGFS). This reanalysis is called NGFS-R and the main objectives of this effort are to address issues for studying decadal variability of the Indian summer monsoon, high-resolution global analysis fields to study the Indian monsoon and to provide short-term mean fields for its seasonal/long-term forecasts by ensemble methods. NGFS-R has been conducted with the T574L64 version of the Global Data Assimilation and Forecasting System of NCMRWF that is operational as of May 2015, and using CFS-reanalysis data dump. With this effort, a high-resolution global data analysis at 6 h intervals is made available for about 16 years (2000-2015) for various uses and applications.
