What is ERA-interim data?
ERA-Interim is a global atmospheric reanalysis from 1979, continuously updated in real time. The data products include a variety of surface parameters, describing weather as well as ocean-wave and land-surface conditions.
How do I download ERA5 data?
Go to the C3S climate data store (CDS). Type ‘ERA5’ in the search box. Follow the ERA5 dataset title link of interest (there will be many more hits)….3 – Downloading online ERA5 family data through the CDS web interface

What is a reanalysis dataset?
What is reanalysis? Reanalysis data provide the most complete picture currently possible of past weather and climate. They are a blend of observations with past short-range weather forecasts rerun with modern weather forecasting models.
What are the changes from era-interim to ERA5?
ERA-5 has important changes compared to ERA-Interim, including more improved numerical model and data assimilation schemes, higher spatial and temporal resolution, assimilation of more observations, and improved versions of input observation and forcing datasets.
What is the era data set?
The ERA dataset is designed to have a significant intra-class variation and inter-class similarity and captures dynamic events in various circumstances and at dramatically various scales. Moreover, to offer a benchmark for this task, we extensively validate existing deep networks.
What is Ecmwf model?
The ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) is a European global forecast seamless model. It is widely regarded as the best and most reliable model currently in existence.
What does ERA5 stand for?
ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate covering the period from January 1950 to present. ERA5 is produced by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) at ECMWF. ERA5 provides hourly estimates of a large number of atmospheric, land and oceanic climate variables.
How do I use Cdsapi?
If you are not logged, please login and go to the step below. Copy the code displayed beside, in the file $HOME/….For linux users, please proceed as follows:
- Install the CDS API key.
- Install the CDS API client.
- Use the CDS API client for data access.
What are reanalysis products?
Reanalysis products are used extensively in climate research and services, including for monitoring and comparing current climate conditions with those of the past, identifying the causes of climate variations and change, and preparing climate predictions.
What is the ERA5 data?
ERA5 provides hourly estimates of a large number of atmospheric, land and oceanic climate variables. The data cover the Earth on a 30km grid and resolve the atmosphere using 137 levels from the surface up to a height of 80km.
What does ERA5 mean?
What is the resolution of ERA5 data?
ERA5, the successor to ERA-Interim, provides global, hourly estimates of atmospheric variables, at a horizontal resolution of 31 km and 137 vertical levels from the surface to 0.01 hPa. Produced by ECMWF, ERA5 presently extends back to 1979; it will ultimately be extended back to 1950.

How do you install and use CDS API on Windows?
Step-by-step guide
- Login to CDS (or Login to ADS)
- Copy a 2 line code, which shows a url and your own uid:API key details as followed:
- Paste the 2 line code into a %USERPROFILE%\.
- Install the CDS API client by running the following command in a Command Prompt window:
What is ECMWF data?
ECMWF produce and disseminate weather forecast data for the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NHMSs) of ECMWF Member and Co-operating States and their authorised users. ECMWF also archives data and makes this available to authorised users.
How do I get ECMWF data?
Commercial organisations can obtain a licence for commercial use of ECMWF forecast products and services. You can explore the datasets that are made available under licence, including those in the operational archive, and buy an archive data licence to download data using the Web API services.
Is GFS or euro more accurate?
The upgrades come as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ model, or colloquially known in the weather community as “the Euro,” has fame for being more accurate than the American GFS (a little more detail can be found here).
