List of all the 2D variables hosted in DKRZ and those incorporated into XCES

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 2D variables may belong to 2 different data types:

data type	characteristics	meaning
`sf00`	surface vars	pure analysis (no forecast), only intensive data (e.g. temp).
`sf12`	forecast & accumulated	forecast starting at 06:00, extensive data (e.g. precip). Instantaneous: valid at the time indicated by time+step (e.g. 06:00 +1h i.e. at 07:00) Accumulated: aggregation between step and step+1 (the steps are of 1 hour)

More info in https://confluence.ecmwf.int/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=85402030

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)
