[!IMPORTANT]
The old Climate Data Store (CDS) has been shut down. All era5cli versions up to v1.4.2 will no longer work.For more information see:
https://forum.ecmwf.int/t/goodbye-legacy-climate-data-store-hello-new-climate-data-store-cds/6380/14To continue using era5cli, you will need to re-register at ECMWF and get a new API key,
and transition to era5cli version 2. This can be installed with:
pip install era5cli==2.0.1
[!WARNING]
netCDF files from the new Climate Data Store Beta are not formatted the same as the
old CDS. Some variables might be missing.
See the open issue here, as well as the ECMWF discussion forum.
A command line interface to download ERA5 data from the Copernicus Climate Data Store.
With era5cli you can:
- Download meteorological data in GRIB/NetCDF, including ERA5 data from the preliminary back extension, and ERA5-Land data.
- List and retrieve information on available variables and pressure levels
- Select multiple variables for several months and years
- Split outputs by years (and optionally months), producing a separate files instead of merging them in one file
- Download multiple files at once
- Extract data for a sub-region of the globe
