- 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. Provides v and u component of wind at 10 m above the surface. Wind is only interpolated and not otherwise adjusted from ERA-5.
