1. Access to reanalyses

ERA-CLIM2 reanalyses can be accessed from dedicated data portals:
Note:for larger samples retrievals of the coupled reanalyses, the ECMWF's Web-API should be used. Before you do that, users are advised to read carefully instructions how to get CERA-20C data quickly and efficiently.

2. Access to observations rescued and reprocessed within the ERA-CLIM2 project

The ERA-CLIM2 observations feed into existing repositories and are already used in other projects (see Brönnimann et al, 2018, BAMS, in press). By submitting data to existing repositories (from where they are retrieved for reanalyses projects), they become part of their update cycles. This guarantees that version numbers are unique and that older versions remain available.
