Reanalysis would contribute to: • Individual CSE hydrometeorological studies • MAGS, GAPP, LB A, BALTEX, GAME, MDB and others (e.g. AMMA, La Plata) • GHP hydrometeorological studies • WEBs (Global Water and Energy Budget studies) • WRAP (Global Water Resource Application Project) • CEOP (Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period) • SCW (Sources and Cycling of Water) • PRED (Hydrometeorological Predictability) • EX (Hydrometeorological Extremes) • Transferability (regional and global)

Summary • A continuing reanalysis project would help us to better define the global hydrologic cycle and link to a global community of researchers evaluating and utilizing reanalysis products for a wide variety of hydrologic research and application studies • Diurnal to interannual time scales at high temporal, spatial resolution are of major concern • To fully analyze the hydrologic cycle, reanalysis should disseminate: • Input and verifying observations • 3 hourly analysis and first guess files • Continuous accumulations of hydrologic components • Moist. Conv., as well as Precip, Evap., runoff, snowmelt, etc. • Storage Terms • Water vapor, soil moisture, snow, etc. • Associated energy terms
