For RDA ERA5 monthly mean data prior to 1979, please see ds633.5:
ERA5 monthly mean back extension 1950-1978 (Preliminary version)
After many years of research and technical preparation, the production of a new ECMWF climate reanalysis to replace ERA-Interim is in progress. ERA5 is the fifth generation of ECMWF atmospheric reanalyses of the global climate, which started with the FGGE reanalyses produced in the 1980s, followed by ERA-15, ERA-40 and most recently ERA-Interim. ERA5 w…

Description:
The World Ocean Database (WOD) has global ocean observed and standard depth data profiles. The World Ocean Atlas (WOA) has objectively analyzed climatological mean fields on both a quarter-degree and on a one-degree longitude by latitude grids. The gridded analyses are for annual, seasonal, and monthly means of six oceanographic variables: temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate on standard levels (typically at 102 depths, dependent on data availability). …

Description:
A global dataset of meteorological forcings has been developed that can be used to drive models of land surface hydrology. The dataset is constructed by combining a suite of global observation-based datasets with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. Known biases in the reanalysis precipitation and near-surface meteorology have been shown to exert an erroneous effect on modeled land surface water and energy budgets and are thus corrected using observation-based datasets of precipitation, air temperature an…
Dataset ID:
d314000
Description:
This dataset contains the data to support Jupyter notebook example workflows that use the PelicanFS package and the Open Science Data Federation to stream data from the RDA into various computational environments. It also contains Intake-ESM catalogs that point to datasets on AWS and other cloud data providers.

Description:
ECMWF has announced that the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has begun the release of the ERA5 back extension data covering the period 1950-1978 on the Climate Data Store (CDS).
Although in many other respects the quality of this dataset is quite satisfactory, the current back extension appears to suffer from tropical cyclones that are sometimes unrealistically intense. This is in contrast with the ERA5 product from 1979 onwards (also available from the CDS and RDA ds633.0). Fo…

d633005
Description:
The International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) is a global ocean marine meteorological and surface ocean dataset. It is formed by merging many national and international data sources that contain measurements and visual observations from ships (merchant, navy, research), moored and drifting buoys, coastal stations, and other marine and near-surface ocean platforms. Each marine report contains individual observations of meteorological and oceanographic variables, such as…

Description:
In ECMWF Technical Memo 859 released in January 2020, Simmons and his coauthors
report that "the ERA5 analyses of lower stratospheric temperature exhibit a
pronounced cold bias for the years 2000 to 2006. This is due to specifying
background error covariances for the data assimilation that were inappropriate
prior to availability during 2006 of GNSS radio occultation data in sufficient
numbers to constrain a cold bias of the assimilating ERA5 model. A new set of
analyses…

Description:
The NOAA NCEI (National Center for Environmental Information) Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) dataset is a global monthly sea surface temperature dataset derived from the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Dataset (ICOADS). Production of the ERSST is on a 2 degree grid with spatial completeness enhanced using statistical methods. This monthly analysis begins in January 1854 continuing to the present and includes anomalies computed with respect to a 1971-200…
Dataset ID:
d277009
Description:
Hourly, CONUS-wide volumes of radar reflectivity and velocity spectrum width for warm seasons only (April-August), 2008 to the Present.
Dataset ID:
d841001
Description:
5-minute event-based volumes of radar reflectivity, differential reflectivity, specific differential phase, correlation coefficient, velocity spectrum width, azimuthal shear, and radial divergence data. This data encompasses ~100 of the most severe events in the US each year based on tornadoes, hail, and wind from 2010 to the Present, with domains that vary to encompass each event. The storm track data are included for each of the events.
Data for 2010-2012 do not include differential …
