Conclusions and perspectives The CERA system performs well in technical and scientific assessments over short periods: small improvements in the atmosphere compared to the OPER-like system significant improvements in the ocean compared to the OPER-like system Challenges: illustrate the possible reduction in initialisation shocks due to the coupled analysis illustrate the better use of near-surface observations Future productions: 215 - Production of an extended climate reanalysis spanning the 2th-century (1 resolution) 216 - Production of a reanalysis of the satellite era (.25 resolution) Patrick Laloyaux (ECMWF) CERA August 21, 214 24 / 24
