The model output consists of two NetCDF files, each with five layers. The first dataset is the actual ET with the following filename format:
ET_C3S-glob-agric_GLS_CDS_EO_dek_20040820-20040831.nc
- ET_C3S-glob-agric_GLS_CDS_EO Product short name “ET” is actual
- dek_20040820-20040831 start and the end of the dekadal period of the
- .nc - Data format NetCDF.
