Summary
[ Derived from parent entry - See data hierarchy tab ] ECMWF has in the past produced three major reanalyses: 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. ERA-Interim reanalysis is expected to catch up with operations in late 2008. The reanalysis will then be continued in near-real time with the same system in order to support climate monitoring. This experiment contains assimilated surface-data with a time-step of six hours. The grid is unreduced. The data sets contain monthly mean values. Please see this link for detailed terms of use: https://apps.ecmwf.int/datasets/licences/general/
