Assessing the Precision of ERA5 Weather Data: An Earthscience Perspective

One of the most important aspects of weather forecasting is the accuracy of the data used in the process. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been providing weather data for over four decades, and its latest product, ERA5, has been adopted by many organizations worldwide. ERA5 is a reanalysis dataset that provides

Converting ERA5 Specific Humidity: From kg/kg to g/kg or mm/day

ERA5 is a global climate reanalysis dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). It provides hourly meteorological data on a global grid with a resolution of about 31 km for the period from 1979 to the present. Specific humidity is one of the key variables provided by ERA5, defined as the

Exploring the Feasibility of Deriving Pressure-Level Dew Point from ERA5 Data in Earth Science Research

ERA5 (European Reanalysis 5) is a state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis dataset providing global atmospheric fields at high spatial and temporal resolution. It is produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and is widely used in various fields of Earth science research. Among the many atmospheric variables provided by ERA5, dew point temperature is
