The data can be found under /work/bmx828/miklip-ces/data4miklip/reanalysis/reanalysis/era5. The raw format of this data is hosted in DKRZ under /pool/data/ERA5. The 3D variables may belong to 2 different data types:
| data type | characteristics | included levels |
|---|---|---|
pl00 | pressure levels (37 levels) | 1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 (hPa) |
ml00 | model levels (137 levels) |
Some variables may be found in more than one type, in these cases we set a default source (bolded), although that can be changed as per user request.
The information contained in the table is the following one:
| column | meaning |
|---|---|
| XCES_VAR | variable name at XCES |
| EC_VAR | original variable name from ECMWF, more info at ECMWF's Parameter Database |
| XCES_STD_NAME | standard name at XCES |
| XES_LONG_NAME | long name at XCES |
| VAR_NO | ECMWF variable number, more info at ECMWF's Parameter Database |
| XCES_UNITS | variable units at XCES |
| PROCESS | the variable can be I (instantaneous), A (accumulated), EX, EI (max., min.) I variables go from 00-23 at each day. A, EX, EI variables go from 01-00 at each day. |
| AVAIL_TYPES | available datatypes at DKRZ (in bolded the ingested one) |
| INCLUDED | YES/(NO) |
