era5_3dvars

List of all the 3D variables hosted in DKRZ and those incorporated into XCES

The data can be found under /work/bmx828/miklip-ces/data4miklip/reanalysis/reanalysis/era5. The raw format of this data is hosted in DKRZ under /pool/data/ERA5. The 3D variables may belong to 2 different data types:

data type characteristics included levels
pl00pressure levels (37 levels) 1000, 850, 700, 500, 300 (hPa)
ml00model levels (137 levels)

Some variables may be found in more than one type, in these cases we set a default source (bolded), although that can be changed as per user request.

The information contained in the table is the following one:

columnmeaning
XCES_VAR variable name at XCES
EC_VAR original variable name from ECMWF, more info at ECMWF's Parameter Database
XCES_STD_NAME standard name at XCES
XES_LONG_NAME long name at XCES
VAR_NO ECMWF variable number, more info at ECMWF's Parameter Database
XCES_UNITSvariable units at XCES
PROCESSthe variable can be I (instantaneous), A (accumulated), EX, EI (max., min.)
I variables go from 00-23 at each day.
A, EX, EI variables go from 01-00 at each day.
AVAIL_TYPESavailable datatypes at DKRZ (in bolded the ingested one)
