TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented newly digitized and re-evaluated early ship-based upper-air data from two cruises: (1) kite and registering balloon profiles from onboard the ship SMS Planet on a cruise from Europe around South Africa and across the Indian Ocean to the western Pacific in 1906/1907, and (2) shipbased radiosonde data from onboard MS Schwabenland on a ship from Europe across the Atlantic to Antarctica and back in 1938/1939.

TL;DR: The authors discusses the intensity of the precipitation ARs often bring, and their unique combinations of durations, geometries, winds, and temperatures which make ARs important and unique pieces of the climatology and landscapes that affect both natural systems and human societies.

TL;DR: In this paper, developers representing each of the major reanalysis centers met at Goddard Space Flight Center to discuss technical issues associated with recent and ongoing atmospheric reanalyses and plans for the future.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of spatially-interpolated sparse-input reanalysis products to perform homogenisation of global monthly land surface air temperature records back to 1850 based upon the statistical properties of station-minus-reanalysis and station-plus-neighbour series was compared.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between SLP extremes and corresponding station elevation and temperature using the Integrated Surface Database (ISD-Lite) of NOAA's National Climate Data Center.
