SOILHGT variable from ERA5 with ungrib

Thank you for the guidance. I’ve been downloading ERA5 directly from the CDS using cdsapi in GRIB format; I’ll switch to the recommended era5_to_int workflow and see how that goes.


One point I’d like to confirm before re‑running everything: for the surface fields I currently request the following list. Could you let me know if I’m missing anything essential for MPAS initialization, or if some of these are unnecessary?

  • 10m_u_component_of_wind
  • 10m_v_component_of_wind
  • 2m_temperature
  • 2m_dewpoint_temperature
  • surface_pressure
  • mean_sea_level_pressure
  • skin_temperature
  • sea_surface_temperature
  • sea_ice_cover
  • land_sea_mask
  • snow_depth
  • soil_temperature_level_1
  • soil_temperature_level_2
  • soil_temperature_level_3
  • soil_temperature_level_4
  • volumetric_soil_water_layer_1
  • volumetric_soil_water_layer_2
  • volumetric_soil_water_layer_3
  • volumetric_soil_water_layer_4
Thanks again for your help.
