The longwave fluxes are not included in the CM SAF ICDR plans for the current phase. To ensure the dataset integrity and continuity, they are calculated within the C3S for the ICDR part. As such, the longwave fluxes change their licence affiliation, namely they are provided within the C3S project for the ICDR part (2019-onwards) and are brokered from EUMETSAT’s CM SAF for the TCDR part (1982 to 2018).

...

In contrast to the original CM SAF CLARA-A2.1 dataset, the brokered service within Copernicus solely provides:

  • Level-3 data – excluding the level-2b data format.
  • Data on a global equal angle grid – excluding the polar grid format.

...

The user (customer) has the possibility to browse and search in the Copernicus Knowledge Base on Copernicus Climate Data Store desk. This is (CKB) (CAMS and C3S Knowledge Base (CKB)) or the Copernicus Climate Data Store desk (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/usersupport). This is known as the level-0 process of User Support.
