Hi,
I noticed that the surface solar radiation downwards values are NaN for 2024 July in the reanalysis ERA5 single levels dataset. Values exist for June and August though. Is this a known issue?
This was my code for the request:
dataset = "reanalysis-era5-single-levels"
request = {
'product_type': ['reanalysis'],
'variable': [
'2m_temperature', # Air temperature at 2m, in K
'10m_u_component_of_wind', # u component of wind at 10m, in m/s
'10m_v_component_of_wind', # v component of wind at 10m, in m/s
'low_cloud_cover', # area covered by clouds, between 0-1
'medium_cloud_cover', # area covered by clouds, between 0-1
'high_cloud_cover', # area covered by clouds, between 0-1
'total_cloud_cover', # area covered by clouds, between 0-1
'precipitation_type', # rain, snow etc, between 0-8
'total_precipitation', # accumulated liquid and frozen water, comprising rain and snow, that falls to the Earth's surface, in m
'surface_solar_radiation_downwards', # amount of solar radiation that reaches a horizontal plane at the surface of the Earth, in J/m2
'2m_dewpoint_temperature', # in K
'mean_sea_level_pressure', # in Pa

client = cdsapi.Client(url=os.environ["CDS_API_ENDPOINT"], key=os.environ["CDS_API_KEY"])
client.retrieve(dataset, request, "weather_data.nc")
Thanks
