This paper describes the repackaging and consistent distribution of the world’s major atmospheric and oceanic reanalyses. It also presents examples of the usefulness of examining multiple reanalyses. Here, this service will make it much easier for anybody using reanalysis to access multiple datasets using an approach similar to that of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Experienced users as well as students will find the standardized formatted data convenient to use.
