Template:Needs Update This page needs updating

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) conducted JRA-55, the second Japanese global atmospheric reanalysis project. It covers 55 years, extending back to 1958, coinciding with the establishment of the global radiosonde observing system. Compared to its predecessor, JRA-25, JRA-55 is based on a new data assimilation and prediction system (DA) that improves many deficiencies found in the first Japanese reanalysis. These improvements have come about by implementing higher spatial resolution (TL319L60), a new radiation scheme, four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-Var) with Variational Bias Correction (VarBC) for satellite radiances, and introduction of greenhouse gases with time varying concentrations. The entire JRA-55 production was completed in 2013, and thereafter will be continued on a real time basis. (This information was obtained from the NCAR website http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds628.0/)

Known issues

29-01-2020 - Some tropical cyclones occurring over the Northeast Pacific and the North Atlantic from 1959 to 1987 were erroneously represented as anti-cyclonic vortices in the Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA-55) dataset. A detailed report is available at the JRA-55 website:

Getting access:

This dataset is part of the climate re-analysis collection, which is stored on raijin in the climate re-analysis collection, which is a collaboration between BoM, CSIRO and ARCCSS. To access the data you need to be part of rr7 group, request access via my.nci.org.au

Data is located in

  • pressure levels: /g/data1/rr7/JRA55/6hr/atmos/<varname>/v1/<filenames>
  • model levels: /g/data1/rr7/JRA55/6hr/atmos/reg-tl319/<varname>/v1/<filenames>

Filenames are: _<mip>_JRA55_<grid>_<YYYYMMDDHH-YYYMMDDHH>.nc <grid> information is currently present only for model level data and it is "reg-tl319" <mip> is 6hrPlev and 6hrLev for pressure and model levels respectively

List of variables

Currently available variables on model levels are

  • ta - atmospheric temperature
  • ua - eastward wind component
  • va - northward wind component
  • hus - specific humidity
  • zg - geopotential
  • ps - surface air pressure

Currently available variables on pressure levels are

  • tas- surface atmospheric temperature
  • uas - surface eastward wind component
  • vas - surface northward wind component
  • hurs - surface relative humidity
  • huss - surface specific humidity
  • zg - geopotential
  • ps - surface air pressure
  • psl - air pressure at sea level
  • dptas - Near-Surface Dew Point Depression

Download & conversion process

We downloaded the model analysis level from the NCAR website and the pressure level data from the JMA Data Dissemination System
