ECMWF ERA-Interim: reduced N256 Gaussian gridded model level forecast parameter data (ggfm)

Model level forecast parameters on a reduced N256 Gaussian grid from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECWMF) ERA-Interim programme.

The ERA-Interim global atmospheric reanalysis of the covers 1979 to August 2019. This follows on from the ERA-15 and ERA-40 re-analysis projects.

This subset of the ERA-Interim dataset contains 3 parameters on 60 model levels covering natural log of surface pressure (single level parameter), specific humidity and temperature.
