ERA5 - Sbali11/PeatlandFirePrediction GitHub Wiki

The standard dataset on weather variables, such as pertaining to soil, precipitation, temperature, and wind. The data is an assimilation between observations and modelling of climate.

• Type: assimilated
• Temporal Resolution: hourly
• Temporal Range: January 1981 - 3 months before present
• Spatial Range: effectively global
• Spatial Resolution: 9km x 9km regridded for 0.1° x 0.1°
• Variables:
  • 2-meter temperature ('t2m'): temperature (K) two meters above the surface
  • Soil water level 1 ('swvl1'): volume water (m³) per volume soil (m³) at a depth of 0 - 7 cm from surface
  • Soil water level 2 ('swvl2'): volume water (m³) per volume soil (m³) at a depth of 7 - 28 cm from surface
  • Soil water level 3 ('swvl3'): volume water (m³) per volume soil (m³) at a depth of 28 - 100 cm from surface
  • Soil water level 4 ('swvl4'): volume water (m³) per volume soil (m³) at a depth of 100 - 289 cm from surface
  • Soil temperature level 1 ('stl1'): temperature of soil (K) at a depth of 0 - 7 cm from surface
  • Soil temperature level 2 ('stl2'): temperature of soil (K) at a depth of 7 - 28 cm from surface
  • Soil temperature level 3 ('stl3'): temperature of soil (K) at a depth of 28 - 100 cm from surface
  • Soil temperature level 4 ('stl4'): temperature of soil (K) at a depth of 100 - 289 cm from surface
  • Leaf area index, low vegetation ('lai_hv'): Surface area of low-lying leaves (m²) over area land (m²). Characterizes the density of low vegetation such as crops, marshes, grasses, bogs.
  • Leaf area index, high vegetation ('lai_lv'): Surface area of high-reaching leaves (m^2) over area land (m²). Characterizes the density of high vegetation such as forests and trees.
  • Total precipitation ('tp'): Total amount of water accumulated over the time unit (month). Given as the depth (m) the water would have if spread evenly over the spatial unit. CAUTION: This variable is an aggregation and not an average, so its value describes a very specific space and time.
  • East-ward component of wind ('u10'): Positive-x component of speed (m s^-1) of wind ten-meters above surface
  • North-ward component of wind ('v10'): Positive-y component of speed (m s^-1) of wind ten-meters above surface
