TL;DR: The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) was undertaken by NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office with two primary objectives: to place observations from NASA's Earth Observing System satellites into a climate context and to improve upon the hydrologic cycle represented in earlier generations of reanalyses as mentioned in this paper.

Development of the GEOS-5 atmospheric general circulation model: evolution from MERRA to MERRA2
TL;DR: The GEOS-5 AGCM presented in this paper is the model used as part of the GMAO MERRA2 reanalysis, global mesoscale simulations at 10 km resolution through 1.5 km resolution, the real-time numerical weather prediction system, and for atmosphere only, coupled ocean-atmosphere and coupled atmospherechemistry simulations.
The GEOS-5 Atmospheric General Circulation Model: Mean Climate and Development from MERRA to Fortuna
Andrea Molod,Lawrence L. Takacs,Max J. Suarez,Julio T. Bacmeister,In-Sun Song,Andrew F. Eichmann +5 more
TL;DR: The Fortuna version of the GEOS-5 Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) is used in the NASA Goddard Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) for simulations at a wide range of resolutions, in atmosphere only, coupled ocean-atmosphere, and data assimilation modes as discussed by the authors.
