Abstract:
European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) atmospheric operational model analyses and products derived from short-term forecasts.
These data are archived at the highest resolution of the data assimilation and forecast system. The free atmospheric data are on constant pressure surfaces and there are many surface fields, single level integrated fields, and boundary layer fields.
This dataset is an extension of the older and lower resolution ECMWF operational output datasets in the NCAR Research Data Archive.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
