摘要
Version 2.1 of Environment and Climate Change Canada's Canadian Surface Reanalysis (CaSR), based on the Regional Deterministic Reforecast System (RDRS), was implemented in 2022 to provide temporally complete meteorological data over 1980-2018 covering Canada at 10 km spatial resolution. Similarly, the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis-Land (ERA5-Land) dataset at similar to 9 km spatial resolution became available. To assess their performance in complex topography, this paper undertakes spatiotemporal inter-comparisons between the RDRS and ERA5-Land reanalysis products with station-based data across British Columbia's Skeena and Nechako watersheds for 1980-2018. Results reveal persistent cold biases, ranging from -6.2 degrees C to -1.6 degrees C basin-wide, in reanalysis mean annual air temperatures relative to observations, but biases vary in both space and time. Conversely, reanalysis total annual precipitation shows wet biases, ranging from 25% to 59% basin-wide. Analyses generally show wetting trends for observations and ERA5-Land while RDRS exhibits drying trends. Reanalysis datasets achieve better agreement overall with observations over the Nechako Watershed, likely due to its denser network of meteorological stations and less complex terrain than the Skeena Watershed. Despite some deficiencies, the RDRS and ERA5-Land reanalyses remain particularly useful products to assess regional climate variability and climatic change given their generally skilful representation of spatial patterns and temporal trends in meteorological variables across the Nechako and Skeena watersheds. [Traduit par la redaction] La version 2.1 de la reanalyse de la surface canadienne d'Environnement et Changement climatique Canada, fondee sur le Systeme regional de prevision deterministe (SRPD), a ete mise en oe uvre en 2022 afin de fournir des donnees meteorologiques completes dans le temps pendant la periode 1980-2018, couvrant le Canada a une resolution spatiale de 10 km. Dans le meme ordre d'idees, la cinquieme generation de l'ensemble de donnees Re-Analysis-Land (ERA5-Land) du Centre europeen pour les previsions meteorologiques a moyen terme (CEPMMT) a une resolution spatiale de similar to 9 km est devenue disponible. Pour evaluer leur performance dans une topographie complexe, cet article entreprend des comparaisons spatio-temporelles entre les produits de reanalyse SRPD et ERA5-Land avec des donnees basees sur des stations dans les bassins versants de Skeena et de Nechako en Colombie-Britannique pour la periode 1980-2018. Les resultats revelent des biais froids persistants, allant de -6,2 degrees C a -1,6 degrees C a l'echelle du bassin, dans les temperatures moyennes annuelles de l'air de la reanalyse par rapport aux observations, mais les biais varient dans l'espace et dans le temps. Inversement, la reanalyse des precipitations annuelles totales montre des biais humides, allant de 25% a 59% pour l'ensemble du bassin. Les analyses montrent generalement des tendances a l'humidification pour les observations et ERA5-Land, tandis que le SRPD presente des tendances d'assechement. Les ensembles de donnees de reanalyse sont globalement en meilleure adequation avec les observations sur le bassin versant de Nechako, probablement en raison d'un reseau plus dense de stations meteorologiques et d'un terrain moins complexe que le bassin versant de Skeena. Malgre certaines lacunes, les reanalyses SRPD et ERA5-Land restent des produits particulierement utiles pour evaluer la variabilite du climat regional et le changement climatique, etant donne leur representation generalement habile des schemas spatiaux et des tendances temporelles des variables meteorologiques dans les bassins versants de Nechako et de Skeena.
