The Data Engineering and Curation Section (DECS) of NSF NCAR CISL is in the process of phasing out whole file download, subsetting, and campaign storage access to RDA ERA5 Reanalysis in GRIB format (d633000). We encourage users to transition to the NetCDF files produced by DECS for the RDA. For more details, including the NetCDF data inventory, please visit the ERA5 Reanalysis dataset website.
WRF and MPAS users who previously relied on ERA5 in GRIB format for model initialization should transition to using NetCDF-based initialization scripts developed by NSF NCAR MMM. For more information or assistance with this transition, or guidance on using these scripts for model initialization, please reach out via the WRF & MPAS User Forums.
