ERA40 Model Resolution Gridded Surface and Single Level Forecast Fields from ECMWF

This dataset contains 75 variables from the from the forecast cycle of the ERA-40 model. The forecasts extend out to 36 hours beginning from the 00 and 12 UTC analyses and out to 6 hours beginning with the 06 and 18 UTC analyses. The analysis fields have been archived in ds117.0. All data are archived on an N80 reduced gaussian grid 4x a day.

The ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA40) is a global atmospheric analysis of many conventional observations and satellite data streams for the period Sept,1957- Aug,2002. There are numerous data products that are separated into dataset series based on resolution, vertical coordinate reference, and likely research applications. Descriptions of the series organization and direct links to information about all ERA40 products are available.
