Advances in methods used to revise reanalysis data in recent years"
Researcher | Year | Revising data or not | Revisal method | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Dile et al. | 2014 | No | - | They introduced Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) data into a Soil Water and Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, but did not undertake a revision. |
Fuka et al. | 2014 | No | - | |
Worqlul et al. | 2014 | No | - | They found that the estimates of Multi-Sensor Precipitation Estimate-Geostationary (MPEG) and CFSR data conformed to the actual value, but CFSR overestimated or underestimated precipitation at some stations. |
Blacutt et al. | 2015 | No | - | They focused on the contrast between the statistical characteristics of CFSR and conventional weather data, ignoring their relevance at a monthly scale. |
Zhao et al. | 2015 | No | - | They used a monadic linear regression to analyze Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite data and observed precipitation data and found that the degree of fitting was relatively high. However, they did not give the fitting equation for the stations investigated. |
Yu et al. | 2015 | Yes | Error ratio method | They defined a correction coefficient (measured annual precipitation/CFSR annual precipitation), but the modified scale was large. |
