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)
Links
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

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.

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
