General

Description

Historical: This dataset is based on the ERA5 reanalysis and retrieved from the CDS. No bias adjustment has been applied. Averages for NUTS0 (country) and NUTS2 (sub-country) areas have been computed.Datasets of snow depth (SD) are available for the historical stream only.

Units

Metres (m)

Historical: Data on a standard 0.25° latitude/longitude grid for the C3S Energy domain, as well as NUTS0 and NUTS2 averages, will eventually be available via the C3S Energy/CDS demonstrator.

Data format

Historical: Gridded historical data are available as NetCDF files. NUTS0 and NUTS2 are available as CSV files.

Keywords

Snow depth (SD)

This variable is calculated by ERA5. It is provided as the average over the relevant time period.

Dataset coverage

Geographic area

The C3S Energy domain is: 26.5° N to 72.5° N by 22.0° W to 45.5° E

Temporal resolution

Historical: 1-hour time step. Averages for daily, monthly, seasonal (DJF, MAM, JJA, SON) and annual also computed for NUTS0 and NUTS2 mean values.

Time period

Historical: 1979 to present (ca. 1 month behind real time); updated every month based on ERA5T data availability.

Spatial resolution

Historical: 0.25° by 0.25° latitude/longitude. Data are also available as averages for more than 30 European countries and ca. 100 NUTS2 areas.

Usage

Citation(s)

Historical: ERA5

Lineage statement

Original data source

Historical: original gridded data come from the ERA5 Reanalysis.

Tools used in the production of indicators

Historical: data were retrieved and post-processed using python scripts.

Data Quality

Historical: ERA5 data have been compared to previously used ERA-Interim for consistency
