2 months ago Hello @robbibt, thank you for using this files.
The available documentation for this 2 two files(gs://gcp-public-data-arco-era5/ar/full_37-1h-0p25deg-chunk-1.zarr-v3, gs://gcp-public-data-arco-era5/ar/model-level-1h-0p25deg.zarr-v1) is here(https://github.com/google-research/arco-era5?tab=readme-ov-file#025-pressure-and-surface-level-data,https://github.com/google-research/arco-era5?tab=readme-ov-file#025-model-level-data).
- This both files are updated on monthly basis. Approx.
9th dayof the every month you got the new data ofone month. - Also we are providing
3 months behinddata of the current month for the 100% accuracy. ex. on today(09-07-2024) you get the data till30-04-2024(3 month behind).
Other than above files all other files in the gcp bucket(gcp-public-data-arco-era5/ar) are deprecated and we will remove it soon. Basically all this files contains data for the different different latitude, longitude & time-range.
Please let me know If I can help you in anyways.
P.S.: Close this issue if your doubts are resolved. 😄
Hi all, thanks for the amazing work on this. I'm exploring the data, and it looks like there are many different variants of files available on Google Cloud, e.g.:
Is there documentation available explaining what each of these files represents, and advice on the relative advantages/limitations of each or guidance on when one should be used over others?
For example, I can see that this file is suggested in the README (
full_37-1h-0p25deg-chunk-1.zarr-v3) - is this file recommended as a good place to start for most purposes? (I don't have a specific application in mind yet, but want to start exploring a "generically useful" dataset rather than something customised for specific purposes).I'd also love some info on the expected stability of these files or update process in the context of using them for operational processing or referencing them in external tools - are there plans to progressively update these files with new data, or were they generated as a once-off?
