Accessing ERA5 Data

ESA

Example ERA5 data access without a cloud account. It opens the public ARCO ERA5 Zarr archive on Google Cloud anonymously, uses full-resolution level 0 of the Antarctica land-ice GeoZarr for the analysis grid, subsets an Antarctic bbox, and plots 2 m air temperature.

Plot one ERA5 temperature field

Subset ERA5 with the same lon/lat AOI and plot one 2 m temperature field over the cube grid.

Example comparison

This is a quick exploratory example: compare coarse monthly-sampled ERA5 temperature between 1997 and 2016, then show the composite ice-mask boundaries for those years on top.
