ERA5
Description: ECMWF's Copernicus Climate Change Service produces the (ERA5) which is a 30+ year global climate reanalysis dataset. 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. Note that the dataset used here is a merger of the Google Earth Engine dataset (up to 7/9/2020) and data to real-time ingested by Climate Engine.
Organization: ECMWF
Spatial resolution: 24-km (0.25-deg x 0.25-deg)
Time Span: 1979-01-02 to Present (updated every 1-2 months)
Variables:
- Minimum/Maximum/Mean Temperature (mean_2m_air_temperature, maximum_2m_air_temperature, minimum_2m_air_temperature)
- Dewpoint Temperature (dewpoint_2m_temperature)
- Precipitation (total_precipitation)
- Sea Level Pressure (mean_sea_level_pressure)
- Eastward/Northward Wind Component (u_component_of_wind_10m,v_component_of_wind_10m)
