The data are archived in the ECMWF data archive (MARS) and a pertinent sub-set of the data, interpolated to a regular latitude/longitude grid, has been copied to the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS) disks. On the CDS disks, where single level and pressure level data are available, analyses are provided rather than forecasts, unless the parameter is only available from the forecasts. The interpolation software (MIR) was updated when the ERA5 production was moved to the new ATOS HPC on 24 October 2022.
ERA5.1 is a re-run of ERA5, for the years 2000 to 2006 only, and was produced to improve upon the cold bias in the lower stratosphere seen in ERA5 during this period.
An An ERA5 back extension 1950-1978 (Preliminary version) has been produced. Although Although in many other respects the quality is relatively good, this preliminary data does suffer from excessively intense tropical cyclones. This dataset is available as a separate entry in the CDS catalogue (and in MARS) for a short period of time, after which it will be deprecated and replaced by a new updated version which will be accessible through the main ERA5 entry. The main entry currently contains data from 1959 onwards.

- from 1 September to 13 December 2021, the final ERA5 product is different to ERA5T due to the correction of the assimilation of incorrect snow observations in central Asia. Although the differences are mostly limited to that region and mainly to surface parameters, in particular snow depth and soil moisture and to a lesser extent 2m temperature and 2m dewpoint temperature, all the resulting reanalysis fields can differ over the whole globe but should be within their range of uncertainty (which is estimated by the ensemble spread and which can be large for some parameters). On the CDS disks, the initial, ERA5T, fields have been overwritten (with the usual 2-3 month delay), i.e., for these months, access to the original CDS disk, ERA5T product is not possible after it has been overwritten. Potentially incorrect snow observations have been assimilated in ERA5 up to this time, when the effects became noticeable. The quality control of snow observations has been improved in ERA5 from September 2021 and from 15 November 2021 in ERA5T.
For the hourly products on CDS disks for both single and pressure levels, some local differences exist between ERA5 and ERA5T for 1 to 24 October 2022 due to a change of the regridding software (MIR) when the ERA5 production was changed from the Cray to ATOS. Differences are not meteorologically significant. For October 2022, there is no difference for the data in native resolution (ERA5-complete).
The IFS and data assimilation
...
For sub-daily data for the HRES (stream=oper/wave) the analyses (type=an) are available hourly. The short forecasts, run twice daily from 06 and 18 UTC, provide hourly output forecast steps from 0 to 18 hours (only steps 1 to 12 hours are available on the CDS disks). For the EDA, the sub-daily non-wave data (stream=enda) are available every 3 hours but the sub-daily wave data (stream=ewda) are available hourly in MARS and 3 hourly on the CDS disks.

The ERA5 HRES atmospheric data has a resolution of 31km, 0.28125 degrees, and the EDA has a resolution of 63km, 0.5625 degrees. (Depending on the parameter, the data are archived either as spectral coefficients with a triangular truncation of T639 (HRES) and T319 (EDA) or on a reduced Gaussian grid with a resolution of N320 (HRES) and N160 (EDA). These grids are so called "linear grids", sometimes referred to as TL639 (HRES) and TL319 (EDA).)
...
ERA5 data available from the CDS disks has been pre-interpolated to a regular latitude/longitude grid appropriate for that data.
The interpolation method is based on the MIR software. For the production on the Cray HPC (1 January 1950 to 24 October 2022 inclusive) this was an early version of MIR, while for the production on ATOS (25 October 2022 onwards) this is based on the MIR version of the ECMWF MARS client. Differences between both versions are in general small, very localized and not meteorologically significant. For data on pressure levels, differences are mainly limited to the exact north and south pole (90N and 90S). For single-level data, for some fields there are differences at the poles as well, while for some other fields, there are additional sets of isolated points with differences. In both cases this represents an improvement of the interpolation software.

Please note that in GRIB1, the largest value which can be stored in 1 octet is 255, so the layer 4 bottom value is set to "missing" (rather than 289). Some software can therefore give incorrect values for the lower boundary of this layer (e.g. CDO reports the value as 255). Please see https://confluence.ecmwf.int/x/uqOGC for more details. |

The mean rates/fluxes in Table 4 provide similar information to the accumulations in Table 3, except they are expressed as temporal averages, and so have units of "per second". The mean rate hydrological parameters have units of "kg m-2 s-1" and so they can be multiplied by 86400 seconds (24 hours) to convert to kg m-2 day-1 or mm day-1.
