Hello All - 

I will like to know what are the scheduled plan for releasing the ERA5-Land timely updates (also called ERA5-LandT) ? on the ERA5-Land documentation page, it is said that "it will be made available shortly."

Similarly to ERA5T, I assume it will have a 5-day latency, correct?  

Many thanks - Martin

    Hi,

    the timeline of ERA5 products releases is the following:

    • ERA5T-complete (e.g. model levels) in preparation for public release in late 2021
    • ERA5 back extension (1950-1978) in preparation for public release in summer 2020
    • ERA5T-Land in preparation for public release in autumn 2021
    • ERA5-Land back extension (1950-1980) in preparation for public release later in 2021

    Thanks

    Michela

    Very good news !

    Hi Michela,

    According to the above release schedule the ERA5T-complete dataset is scheduled for release in "late summer 2020" which I guess is around now. Do you have any updates on when this valuable data will be released??

    Thanks,

    Thorkild

    Hello.

    Similar question, but with respect to all of the above named datasets; is there an update on what has been released and when with respect to each of the 4 bulleted datasets listed?

    Thank you,

    Michael

      Dear all,

      Unfortunately the pandemic situation has hampered some our initial plans. ERA5-LandT is still on the agenda and we hope to have it ready by summer. 

      Again apologies for the delays.

      Best,

      Joaquin

    Hi,

    I wonder if someone from the community could share any news regarding ERA5T-land release. I understand its hard to give definitive answer/timeline but an estimate would be very helpful.

    Thank you very much.

    cheers, Jan

    Dear Jan,

    Our current priority is the transition from the first to the second phase of Copernicus, and the pandemic situation has not helped. Unfortunately this has pushed some of our initial plans further in the year. ERA5-LandT is unlikely to be ready before autumn. If we are able to release it before autumn it will be properly announced through several channels. 

    Sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause you. 

    Regards,

    Joaquín

    Thank you for a quick response. We understand the pandemic could have derailed the plans significantly. Jan

    what will be the difference between ERA5-Land and ERA5-LandT ?

  11. User Darren dot Kriticos at csiro dot au

    Please, does anyone know the answer to Martin's question about latency for ERA5-LandT?

  12. Joaquin Munoz Sabater

    Dear all, in response to the last questions:

    1) ERA5-LandT will be released with a 2 to 5 days latency

    2) ERA5-LandT will be a close to real-time, non quality guaranteed, version of ERA5-Land. The principle is exactly the same that with ERA5/ERA5T. The release of ERA5-Land uses quality assured atmospheric forcing from ERA5, whereas ERA5-LAndT will use non quality assured atmospheric forcing from ERA5.

    Regards,

    Joaquín

    Dear Joaquin Munoz Sabater,

    is there any update on release of ERA5-LandT? I need to make a decision regarding usage of ERA5-LandT and I would appreciate any update even if the release is postponed.

    Thanks, Jan

    Dear Jan Paral,

    As you may know we are moving our data center to Bologna and with that the suite that will run ERA5-Land in NRT. So until the data center in Bologna is not active, we won't be able to activate ERA5-Land in NRT. I'm not sure about the exact timeline for this, but I think (as advertised in a few places) this move should happen anytime between now and February. Obviously the pandemic situation is not helping. 

    Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you,

    Kind regards,

    Joaquín

      Thank you for the update Joaquín, that is very helpful as it allows me to stick with alternative dataset for the time being. Jan

    Congrats on the move! Hope things are settling in nicely. (smile)

    Would be great to get an update on ERA5-Land-T (or even the last few months' release of ERA5-Land) when possible! Thanks!

    1. TAUKLucas Kruitwagen

      (bump) Joaquin Munoz Sabater  any update? Thanks so much!

      1. Joaquin Munoz Sabater

        Dear TAUKLucas Kruitwagen, thanks for your interest.

        Either myself or my colleagues from user support will provide an update by the end of this week, when I'll have more clarity on the way forward. 

        Kind regards,

        Joaquin 

        1. TAUKLucas Kruitwagen

          Thanks so much Joaquin, looking forward to hearing!

          All the best,

          Lucas

    Dear all, 

    I've got up to date information on the release of ERA5-LandT.

    Our own deadline is set to end of Q3 this year. Technically the NRT suite is ready but we can only run it in the new ATOS HPC in Bologna. To this aim, the ERA5-Land model version needs to be fully ported and tested in Bologna. We also need that the new ATOS HPC is stable for at least 3 months. At current this is not the case yet. So all the technical steps bring us to Q3. 

    Apologies for all the inconveniences this may cause to you. We could already run it in the current HPC, but we are progressively switching it off and it has to be done in the new one. 

    Kind regards,

    Joaquin

      Thanks for the update Joaquin Munoz Sabater !

  17. Adrian Babis

    Dear Joaquin Munoz Sabater,

    is there any new update on the release of ERA5-LandT?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

    Adrian

  18. Paul Carlone

    Just curious as to if there are any updates on the ERA5-LandT release. Love the work the team is doing keep it up

  19. Joaquin Munoz Sabater

    Dear all,

    I send a general comment rather than responding one by one; this is just to confirm that ERA5-LandT is now running successfully in our infrastructure in Bologne, what it means that the release will be done very soon. 

    Please, be patient and keep tuned up as it is now just a matter of a very few weeks. 

    Kind regards,

    Joaquín 

    1. TAUKLucas Kruitwagen

      Amazing!!! Congrats to the team and can't wait to get into the data!

    2. Paul Carlone

      Excellent!!!! Keep up the amazing work

    3. Iker Llabres

      Thank you for the update.
      I would like to ask if there is an estimated date for the release of ERA5-LandT.
      Thank you in advance.

      1. Joaquin Munoz Sabater

        Dear Iker,

        The only thing blocking the release is availability of the key technical people. 

        My latest (today) news is that it is quite likely that we've got the official release before the end of the year.

        Kind regards,

        Joaquín

        1. Eric Michielli

          Joaquín,

          Is the plan to still release this before the end of the year?  Will you be able to share an official release date before it is enabled in the system?

          Thank you,

          Eric

          1. Joaquin Munoz Sabater

            Dear Eric,

            Yes, we will make a widespread official announcement of the release of ERA5-Land-T (web article, tweet, forum, emails). The plan is still before the end of the year, so I hope you'll have news very very soon. 

            Regards,

            Joaquín
