| MAIN VARIABLES | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name | Units | Description |
| 10m Wind Speed | m s-1 | The magnitude of the two-dimensional horizontal air velocity. The data represents the mean over the aggregation period at 10m above the surface. |
| 10m u-component of the wind | m s-1 | The magnitude of the eastward component of the wind at 10m above the surface. |
| 10m v-component of the wind | m s-1 | The magnitude of the northward component of the wind at 10m above the surface. |
| 200hPa u-component of the wind | m s-1 | The magnitude of the eastward component of the wind at 10m 200hPa. |
| 200hPa v-component of the wind | m s-1 | The magnitude of the northward component of the wind at 10m 200hPa. |
| 2m relative humidity | % | Relative humidity is the percentage ratio of the water vapour mass to the water vapour mass at the saturation point given the temperature at that location. The data represents the mean over the aggregation period at 2m above the surface. |
| 2m specific humidity | Dimensionless | Amount of moisture in the air at 2m above the surface divided by the amount of air plus moisture at that location. |
| 2m temperature | K | The ambient air temperature. The data represents the mean over the aggregation period at to 2m above the surface. |
| 500hPa geopotential | m | Gravitational potential energy per unit mass normalised by the standard gravity at 500hPa at the same latitude. |
| 850hPa U-component of the wind | m s-1 | Magnitude of the eastward component of the two-dimensional horizontal air velocity at 850hPa. |
| 850hPa V-component of the wind | m s-1 | Magnitude of the northward component of the two-dimensional horizontal air velocity at 850hPa. |
| Mean precipitation flux | kg m-2 s-1 | The deposition of water to the Earth s surface in the form of rain, snow, ice or hail. The precipitation flux is the mass of water per unit area and time. The data represents the mean over the aggregation period. |
| Mean sea level pressure | Pa | The air pressure at sea level. In regions where the Earth s surface is above sea level the surface pressure is used to compute the air pressure that would exist at sea level directly below given a constant air temperature from the surface to the sea level point. The data represents the mean over the aggregation period. |
| Surface pressure | Pa | Pressure of air at the lower boundary of the atmosphere. |
| Surface solar radiation downwards | W m-2 | The downward shortwave radiative flux of energy per unit area. The data represents the mean over the aggregation period at the surface. |
| Surface thermal radiation downward | W m-2 | Radiative longwave flux of energy incinding on the surface from the above per unit area. |
| Surface upwelling shortwave radiation | W m-2 | Short wave radiative flux of energy from the surface per unit area. |
| Total cloud cover | Dimensionless | Total refers to the whole atmosphere column, as seen from the surface or the top of the atmosphere. Cloud cover refers to fraction of horizontal area occupied by clouds. |
| Total run-off flux | kg m-2 s-1 | The mass of surface and sub-surface liquid water per unit area and time, which drains from land. |
