Global IFS-CY49R1 S2S reforecasts: 10-member ensemble, 46-day lead, 1.5 atmosphere/surface and 1 ocean, 2006-2025.
This dataset is derived from the ECMWF Data Store (S2S on-the-fly reforecasts) and published by Planette as a single cloud-native Icechunk/Zarr data cube at s3://planette-ifs-46-day/reforecasts for efficient analysis with xarray.
An analysis-ready, cloud-optimized (ARCO) edition of ERA5, the fifth-generation global
reanalysis from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) at ECMWF. Provided as a single
Icechunk + Zarr v3 store on AWS S3, this version enables efficient, scalable access to global
reanalysis data for weather, climate, and ML/AI applications. Managed by Earthmover.
ERA5 provides hourly estimates of atmospheric, land-surface, and ocean variables from 1940 to
2025 on a ~31 km (0.25°) global latitude-longitude grid. This Earthmover edition delivers 35
single-level (surface) variables, 8 pressure-level variables on 13 isobaric levels
(50–1000 hPa), and a curated 500 hPa geopotential slice, all with CF-1.7 compliant metadata.
The store is organized into three top-level groups (single, pressure, and 500hPa). Each group
is provided with two complementary chunking strategies that hold identical data: a "spatial"
layout (one full global map [...]
The Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) is a data driven forecast model developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). This is the non-ensemble configuration of AIFS that produces a single forecast trace. AIFS is trained on ECMWF's ERA5 re-analysis and ECMWF's operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) analyses.
