In the documentation of ERA5 (ERA5: data documentation), section "Date and time specification", it says that:

"In the CDS: analyses are provided rather than forecasts, unless the parameter is only available from the forecasts."

However, I understand that if in the CDS webpage (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-single-levels?tab=form), product type "Ensemble mean" is selected, it is always forecasts that are provided for all variables selected. Would that be correct?

(I guess this is obvious, but just to be sure, the wording is a bit confusing to me).

Thanks, Ricardo.
