Description

NOTE (2024-03-15): Due to modernization work impacting the Copernicus Climate Data Store, production of ECMWF datasets will be significantly disrupted. The provider did not specify a planned completion date, so for more details, see the user forum.

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate. Reanalysis combines model data with observations from across the world into a globally complete and consistent dataset. ERA5 replaces its predecessor, the ERA-Interim reanalysis.

ERA5 DAILY provides aggregated values for each day for seven ERA5 climate reanalysis parameters: 2m air temperature, 2m dewpoint temperature, total precipitation, mean sea level pressure, surface pressure, 10m u-component of wind and 10m v-component of wind. Additionally, daily minimum and maximum air temperature at 2m has been calculated based on the hourly 2m air temperature data. Daily total precipitation values are given as daily sums. All other parameters are provided as daily averages.

ERA5 data is available from 1979 to three months from real-time. More information and more ERA5 atmospheric parameters can be found at the Copernicus Climate Data Store.

Provider's Note: Daily aggregates have been calculated based on the ERA5 hourly values of each parameter.
