Abstract

The main goals and activities of the European Reanalysis of Global Climate Observations 2 (ERA-CLIM2) project are discussed along with some key results, including the first ensemble of coupled reanalysis of the twentieth century. The research initiated in these two projects underpins a concerted effort in Europe to build the information infrastructure needed to support climate monitoring, climate research, and climate services, based on the best available science and observations. ERA-CLIM2 is one of several collaborative research projects designated by the European Commission as precursors to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
