What is ACRE?
The Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions
over
the Earth (ACRE) initiative both undertakes and facilitates the recovery of historical
instrumental surface terrestrial and marine global weather observations
to underpin surface-input-only 4D weather reconstructions (reanalyses)
over the last 200-250 years for climate applications and impacts needs
worldwide.
ACRE achieves this
outcome by:
- linking international meteorological organisations &
data rescue infrastructures to facilitate the recovery, extension,
quality control & consolidation of global historical terrestrial
& marine instrumental surface data covering the last 250 years;
- making these observations available to new pioneering surface-input-only reanalyses;
- ensuring
that 4D reanalysis products can be tailored/downscaled to seamlessly flow
into various climate applications & production models.
