Comparison table
This table This article highlights major differences between ERA-Interim, ERA5 and ERA5-Land. There are many additional differences, in particular changes to the computation of individual atmospheric parameters (due to the change in the assimilation system from 31r2 to 41r2) are not listed here.

Model input | As in operations (inconsistent SST) | Appropriate for climate (e.g. CMIP5 greenhouse gases, volcanic eruptions, SST and sea-ice cover) | Atmospheric forcing of ERA5 with additional lapse-rate correction |
---|
Input observations | As in ERA-40 and from Global Telecommunication System | In addition, various newly reprocessed datasets and recent instruments that could not be ingested in ERA-Interim | Observations indirectly influence the simulation through the atmospheric forcing from ERA5. This forcing drives the ERA5-Land single simulation and it has been obtained by assimilating observations through a 4D-VAR data assimilation system and a Simplified Extended Kalman Filter |

New parameters | ERA-Interim contains about 100 parameters on surface and single level alone, plus parameters on other level types. | ERA5 contains over 240 parameters on surface and single level alone, plus parameters on other level types. For specific parameters please compare the technical documentation linked below.
| ERA5-Land contains finer-scale information of land surface component than ERA5, plus specific evaporation parameters. For specific parameters please compare the technical documentation linked below. |
---|
Parameters removed |
| A few parameters present in ERA-Interim are not available in ERA5. For availability of specific parameters please see the technical documentation linked below.
| Most of the atmospheric parameters and all the wave parameters present in ERA-5 are not available in ERA5-Land. For availability of specific parameters please see the technical documentation linked below. |
