For ERA-Interim (1st January 1979 to 31st August 2019) access through the ECMWF Web API stopped on 01 June 2023 Its successor ERA5 is available from the Climate Data Store (CDS) (What are the changes from ERA-Interim to ERA5?) and users are strongly advised to migrate to ERA5 (How to download ERA5). For those users who still need access to ERA-Interim after 01 June 2023 (subject to further notice), they can do so via the Climate Data Store (CDS) API. |
At ECMWF, the variables TCWV (Total Column Water Vapour) and VIWV (Vertical Integral of Water Vapour) are essentially the same, but are produced by different software.
TCWV is generally produced by the IFS ( ECMWF NWP forecast system (using the IFS) and is available in the analyses and forecasts.
VIWV is produced by the ERA post processing budget software and, for ERA-Interim, is only available in the analyses.
More information is available in the ERA-Interim archive document:

Both The units of both TCWV and VIWV are in kg m^kgm-2.
title | ERA-Interim production to stop on 31st August 2019 |

As ERA5 is now available (What are the changes from ERA-Interim to ERA5?), we are preparing to stop the production of ERA-Interim on 31st August 2019. This means that the complete span of ERA-Interim data will be from 1st January 1979 to 31st August 2019.
Keeping in mind that ERA-Interim is published with an offset of about three months from the dataset's reference date, ERA-Interim August 2019 data will be made available towards the end of 2019.
For the time being and until further notice, ERA-Interim shall continue to be accessible through the ECMWF Web API. ERA5 is available from the Climate Data Store (CDS)Info |
