On 6th July 2017 the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), which is operated by ECMWF, has published the first part of the new ERA5 reanalysis product for the years 2010-2016.
This latest development in the ERA series improves on its predecessors by:
Offering a higher horizontal resolution of 31 km and 137 vertical levels from the surface up to 0.01 hPa (around 80 km)
Using a more recent and advanced version of the ECMWF IFS model
Providing hourly estimates of atmospheric variables
Providing a consistent representation of uncertainties for these variables
Using more satellite observations in the data assimilation
Giving access to all input observations (will be available in a later release)
