I would like to know what is the period of climatology used in these products to calculate the anomalies? I couldn't find this information anywhere in the product description.
"Seasonal forecast anomalies on single levels": https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/seasonal-postprocessed-single-levels?tab=overview
"Seasonal forecast anomalies on pressure levels": https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/seasonal-postprocessed-pressure-levels?tab=overview
As I understood, it has been done based on the hihndcast period available on CDS (1993-2016)
Dear Luiz Gabriel,
as you have pointed out this is something that probably should be better documented in the CDS.
In any case, I can confirm you the anomalies provided in the two datasets you mentioned are calculated using the common reference period used for seasonal forecast products on the C3S, and that is from 1993 to 2016.
Apologies for the suboptimal level of information you've found, we'll try to improve that in future iterations of our documentation.

Hello. I was trying to access this dataset throught the API but its not found within the available datasets:
404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/api/retrieve/v1/processes/seasonal-postprocessed-pressure-levels
Do you know if there a solution to this?
Thank you
Hi,
please check the you have the right URL. You can copy that from here (please log in first): CDSAPI setup - Climate Data Store
Thanks
