Dataset
ECMWF ERA5t: surface level forecast parameter data
Abstract
This dataset contains ERA5 initial release (ERA5t) surface level forecast parameter data. ERA5t is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECWMF) ERA5 reanalysis project initial release available upto 5 days behind the present data. CEDA will maintain a 6 month rolling archive of these data with overlap to the verified ERA5 data - see linked datasets on this record. This dataset contains a limited selection of all available variables and have been converted to netCDF from the original GRIB files held on the ECMWF system. They have also been translated onto a regular latitude-longitude grid during the extraction process from the ECMWF holdings. For a fuller set of variables please see the linked Copernicus Data Store (CDS) data tool, linked to from this record.
Surface level and model level analysis data to complement this dataset are also available. Data from a 10 member ensemble, run at lower spatial and temporal resolution, were also produced to provide an uncertainty estimate for the output from the single high resolution (hourly output at 31 km grid spacing) 'HRES' realisation producing data in this dataset.

Access to these data is available to any registered CEDA user. Please Login or Register for a CEDA account to gain access.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence(s): https://artefacts.ceda.ac.uk/licences/specific_licences/ecmwf-era-products.pdf When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record. |
| Data lineage: |
Data are generated by the ERA5 project at European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) before being prepared by CEDA staff using the ECMWF system and uploaded to Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) for ingestion into the archive. Data are translated over to a regular latitude-longitude grid and converted to netCDF format ahead of transfer to the CEDA system. |

Process overview
| Title | ECMWF ERA5 Re-analysis Model deployed on ECMWF Computer |
| Abstract | This computation involved: ECMWF ERA5 Re-analysis Model deployed on ECMWF Computer. The data assimilation system used to produce ERA5 is based on the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS)Cycle 41r2 release, with several added features specifically developed for reanalysis. The many changes and improvements incorporated into the IFS represent a decade of research and development in modelling and data assimilation. The ERA5 reanalysis benefits from research conducted in the EU-funded ERA-CLIM and ERA-CLIM2 projects carried out by ECMWF and partners. These led to improved input data for the assimilating model that better reflects observed changes in climate forcings, as well as many new or reprocessed observations for data assimilation. The system includes : - Model input: Appropriate for climate (e.g. CMIP5 greenhouse gases, volcanic eruptions, |
