Summary
[ Derived from parent entry - See data hierarchy tab ] ECMWF has in the past produced three major re-analyses: FGGE, ERA-15 and ERA-40. Now progress is being made in producing 'ERA-Interim'. ERA-Interim has progressed beyond the end of ERA-40. After completion of the first four years it was decided to revise the configuration of the system and to rerun the initial segment. Other shorter reruns for later periods have been completed as needed for technical reasons. The re-analysis is continued in near-real time in order to support climate monitoring. This experiment contains assimilated data on 60 model (sigma) levels with a time-step of six hours. Please see this link for detailed terms of use: https://apps.ecmwf.int/datasets/licences/general/
