- Off-line land model driven by ERA5 using a finer spatial resolution and including a series of improvements making it more accurate for all types of land applications. Do not include direct assimilation of data: it is indirectly influenced through the ERA5 atmospheric forcings. Do not provide specific or relative humidity. However, it provides 2 m dew point temperature (information on temperature variables are provided in Near Surface temperature subsection). The output is interpolated to 0.10 deg lon/lat from the native model grid of 9 km.
