For the sake of completeness, most of the forcing fields used to run ERA5-Land are included in the catalogue. Note, however, that these fields have purely been interpolated to the ERA5-Land grid and they are not obtained by running the land surface model. They are included in Table 1 and Table 2 below under the column "Used as forcing field".
To download auxiliary Auxiliary land invariant parameters, please use ERA5 (see table1 of ERA5 documentation). The land-sea mask and orography (through the geopotential) fields used to produce the ERA5-Land dataset are also attached here below, already interpolated to a regular lat/lon grid of 0.1°x0.1°:. Relevant information about how to use/interpret these fields are in chapter 8 of https://www.ecmwf.int/en/elibrary/18714-ifs-documentation-cy45r1-part-iv-physical-processes, and plots of these fields are in chapter 11.
