ERA5 Climate Data Downloader

Acerca de

Enables seamless access to the ERA5 reanalysis dataset, providing hourly estimates of climate variables from 1940 to the present. It simplifies the process of downloading specific atmospheric and land surface data—such as temperature, precipitation, and radiation—directly through the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS) API. Designed for scientific research, it supports advanced spatial and temporal subsetting, provides guidance on variable selection for ecosystem modeling, and handles both surface-level and 3D atmospheric pressure data for comprehensive climate analysis and model validation.
