ECMWF ERA5t: surface level forecast parameter data
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.

- 2010-12-08
- Statement
- 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.
