2. Configuration


Earth system components included in the analysis system

(e.g., ocean, sea-ice, land, etc.)


Horizontal resolution of the model, with indication of grid spacing in km

(for the different Earth system component included in the model)

TL639, 31 km atmosphere

0.36o ocean waves

Number of levels in the different Earth system components

(for the different Earth system component included in the model)

137 levels in the atmosphere
Frequency of the outputs1-hourly
      Analysis fields (such as MSLP and 2m temperature) 00, 01 ... 23 UTC

Daily means for analysis fields are computed from instantaneous values at 00, 01 ... 23 UTC.

     Two-dimensional average diagnostic fields (such as total precipitation)

Average accumulations within a particular day=date  are the average from the following forecasts:

  • date-1    18UTC, step=7/to/12/by/1
  • date        06UTC, step=1/to/12/by 1
  • date       18UTC  step=1/to/6/by/1

Earliest start date1 January 1940
Integration time stepThe model time step is 12 minutes for the HRES and 20 minutes for the EDA, though occasionally these numbers are adjusted to cope with instabilities
Length and frequency of the longest forecast18 hour forecasts initialised twice daily from analyses at 06 and 18 UTC
Dataset latency

ERA5T 5 days behind real time (preliminary product)

ERA5 2–3 months (final product)
