A list object containing variables and metadata from ERA5 reanalysis on single levels.

Usage

ERA5_sfc

Format

A list with 8 elements:

t2m

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). 2-meter temperature (K).

t2d

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). 2-meter dew point temperature (K).

cape

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) (J/kg).

z

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). Geopotential (m^2/s^2).

u10

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). 10-meter zonal wind (eastward) component (m/sec).

v10

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). 10-meter meridional wind (northward) component (m/sec).

sp

A numeric 3D array (nlon, nlat, ntime). surface pressure (Pa).

lon

A numeric vector of length nlon. Longitude values in degrees.

lat

A numeric vector of length nlat. Latitude values in degrees.

time

Vector [1D, class "PCICt"]: Time steps (POSIXct), with attributes:

cal

units

Units of time, here "secs".
