ERA40 Monthly Mean Model Resolution Gridded Surface Fields and Vertical Integrals from ECMWF
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
The ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA40) is a global atmospheric analysis of many conventional observations and satellite data streams for the period Sept,1957- Aug,2002. There are numerous data products that are separated into dataset series based on resolution, vertical coordinate reference, and likely research applications. Descriptions of the series organization and direct links to information about all ERA40 products are available [rda.ucar.educgi-bin/joey/era40sum.pl?ds=ds118.0].
This dataset has been segmented into 3 archives:

- Surface [rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds119.0/docs/parms.ds119.0.sfc.html] - 47 mostly surface and near surface fields, including 10m wind, 2m air temp, soil temp and moisture, cloud cover info
- Vertical Integrals [rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds119.0/docs/parms.ds119.0.vint.html] - 35 fields including column water vapor, column ozone, kinetic energy
- Accumulated (other) Fields [rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds119.0/docs/parms.ds119.0.accum.html] - 27 fields including precip, fluxes, radiation, stresses Monthly means have been computed for each analysis hour as well as a daily mean. The ERA-Interim data from ECMWF is an update to the ERA-40 project. The ERA-Interim data starts in 1989 and has a higher horizontal resolution (T255, N128 nominally 0.703125 degrees) than the ERA-40 data (T159, N80 nominally 1.125 degrees). ERA-Interim is based on a more current model than ERA-40 and uses 4-D VAR (as apposed to 3-D VAR in ERA-40). ECMWF will continue to run the ERA-Interim model in near real time thru at least 2010, and possibly longer. This data is available in ds627.0 [rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds627.0/].
