Data coverage
The ERA5 archive provides a comprehensive record of global weather and climate from 1940 to present, with multiple temporal aggregations for flexible analysis. This dataset is derived from the ECMWF/Copernicus ERA5 reanalysis and includes daily means, 7-day rolling means, and monthly/seasonal aggregations at 0.25°×0.25° global resolution. The Planette ERA5 archive stores this data in cloud-native format (Zarr with icechunk) for efficient access and analysis. The dataset includes essential atmospheric variables at both surface and pressure levels, enabling a wide range of climate analyses, from daily weather patterns to long-term climate trends. Daily means are computed by averaging hourly ERA5 data, while longer temporal aggregations are derived from these daily means.
