Fields are in monthly files with one variable per file. Files are compressed with a deflate level of 6 and chunked to the grid dimension. Please note that as 02 February 2023 01 October 2024 all months up to 202211 202405 were downloaded and are the final version of ERA5. The month of 202212-202301 was also downloaded, but is from the temporary version of ERA5 and will be replaced in the near future.
Please note :
- msl, sd, tp, t2m, u10, v10, i10fg, z_500, sst and siconc are available from 194001
- even if the output of sst and siconc is available hourly from CDS API, it only change one time a day, so it was downloaded only at 12Z.
- Due to interpolation from the gaussian grid to the global latlon grid by ECMWF and also due a precision loss when packing the fields into an integer, it can happen to have very small negative precipitation values.

Daily fields are not directly available from ERA5. The daily minimum, maximum and average of the instantaneous hourly fields were computed with [01Z00Z,23Z] of a given day. The data is available from 1940.

ERA5 (Hersbach et al., ERA5 (Hersbach et al., 2019) est la dernière version des réanalyses de ECMWF. Plusieurs sources d’informations sont assimillées dans le cadre de la réanalyse ERA5 comme les observations de stations de surface, les observations satellitaires, les METAR, etc. Les données ont été téléchargés à partir du Climate Data Store de Copernicus (C3S, 2017). L'extension 1950-1978 est considérée comme étant préliminaire dû à un problème avec la vitesse des vents dans les cyclones tropicaux. L'utilisation de ces données pour l'étude des cyclones tropicaux n'est donc pas appropriée.

Even though these fields are available 1-hourly, they change over ocean only once a day between 22Z and 23Z. Therefore we only have these fields once per day at 12Z.

ERA5-Land
ERA5-Land (Muñoz Sabater, 2019) est une simulation hors-ligne du modèle de surface à 0.1° qui est forcé par les réanalyses ERA5. Il n’y a pas d’assimilation de données. Toutefois, les observations atmosphériques s’y retrouvent indirectement via le forçage. Ces données peuvent être très utiles dans des endroits où il y a peu d’observations au niveau de la surface. Les données ont été téléchargés à partir du Climate Data Store de Copernicus (C3S, 2019), 2019). En date du 19 avril 2024, les données jusqu'en 202312 sont issues de la version finale de ERA5-Landé
