Abstract
ERA5, is the climate reanalysis dataset from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), which is substantially upgraded in comparison with ERA-Interim, with a spatial grid resolution of 0.25 degree (~31 km) and hourly temporal resolution, 137 vertical levels of the atmosphere, and increased amount of assimilated data using 4DVar data assimilation method. More details on ERA5 are available at
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/ERA5%3A+data+documentation . All ERA5 data were downloaded from the Copernicus Climate Change Service website (
https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/#!/search?text=ERA5&type=dataset ), and is currently available on the GWF Cuizinart. The variables currently available are cloud cover (0-1), precipitation (mm), evaporation (mm), and runoff (mm) for the period of 2002-2017. Researchers interested in the data from the GWF Cuizinart can email Homa Kheyrollah Pour (University of Waterloo; h2kheyrollahpour@uwaterloo.ca)
Purpose
ERA5, is the fifth generation atmospheric reanalysis dataset from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) that is available to support atmospheric and hydrological research across the globe. This data set will be used to support the modelling objectives of the Global Water Futures (GWF) Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
