Grid geometry

ERA5 data is produced and archived as spectral coefficients or on a reduced Gaussian grid, which has quasi-uniform spacing over the globe.  Reduced Gaussian grids have a series of evenly spaced data points along each parallel (latitude), and parallels spaced at quasi-regular intervals. Near the poles there are only a few points along a parallel, but close to the equator there are many more data points along a parallel.

  • ERA-Interim is  produced and stored as spectral coefficients with a truncation of T255 or on the N128 reduced Gaussian grid (depending on the parameter). See ERA-Interim: What is the spatial reference

  • ERA-40 has a resolution of T159, N80.
  • ERA-15 has a resolution of T106, N80.
