ERA5 CDS requests which return a mixture of ERA5 and ERA5T data

Hello Michela and Xiaobo

I can see why you want to keep two expver but I think it's making things more complicated than needed for users. Moreover, the introduction of the two experiments is breaking codes, with consequent time loss trying to first identify the issue, and then find a (not-so-striaghtforward) solution. My suggestion would be to get rid of the two expver and just communicate when changes to ERA5T, when they become ERA5, are made, as anyway already indicated in Release of ERA5T

Could this solution – i.e. merging expver 1 with 5, so no expver dimension/parameter appears in the retrieval – be implemented please? I think it'd be much cleaner if this was done at your end.

Thank you very much

Alberto
