ERA5 using ecmwfr #71

Closed stineb closed 5 months ago

stineb commented 5 months ago

Trying to run data-raw/05_download_cloud_cover_data.R throws an error

Error : Data identifier reanalysis-era5-single-levels is not found in Web API, CDS or ADS datasets.
                 Or your login credentials do not match your request.

Login credentials shouldn't be the problem (tested that separately). Is ERA5 no longer available through ECWMF? Related to this issue on ecwmfr?

I figured out that data-raw/05_download_cloud_cover_data.R gets ERA5 from CDS. Make sure to register for CDS before running this, following this.
