Auxiliary land invariant parameters are 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.

Leaf Area Index (LAI) parameters are based on a monthly climatology as explained IFS model documentation CY45R1. So the users will only see monthly variability, but not inter-annual variability.
