📄 Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the ERA5 global reanalysis from 1979 onwards, which is produced at ECMWF as part of the Copernicus Climate Change Service. It provides a detailed record of the three-dimensional atmosphere, land surface and ocean waves at an hourly temporal resolution. Compared to its predecessor ERA-Interim, ERA5 has a much-increased horizontal resolution and benefits from 10 more years of R&D, which includes an uncertainty estimate from an underlying ensemble of 4D-Var data assimilation systems.
