We are pleased to announce that a new dataset have been published in the Climate Data Store (CDS):

The Copernicus European Regional ReAnalysis (CERRA) datasets, produced with the HARMONIE-ALADIN limited-area numerical weather prediction and data assimilation system, provide spatially and temporally consistent historical reconstructions of meteorological variables in the atmosphere and at the surface.

The datasets may now be downloaded from the Climate Data Store either interactively using the CDS web interface ("Download data") or programmatically using the CDS API service. The dataset is CDS Toolbox compatible.

For any enquiries regarding this dataset, please contact us.

Dear Support,

I want to use data from CERRA sub-daily regional reanalysis data for "Europe on single levels from 1984 to the present", but I don't need data for Europe as a whole, but only for a specific area. I tried to change the request in toolbox by adding the following line to the 'area' code: [41.00, 18.00, 47.00, 24.00], but it doesn't work. Could you please explain to me how to cut the area for which I want to load the data?

Best regards, 

Slavica

Hi Slavica,

Please see the example on this page for how to subset an area from CERRA using the Toolbox:

CERRA data retrival on geographical subdomains

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

I tried this methodology several times. After 1-2 hours, the download fails. Errors that are reported are different. This is one of the errors:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/cdstoolbox/cdscompute/cdscompute/cdshandlers/services/handler.py", line 59, in handle_request result = cached(context.method, proc, context, context.args, context.kwargs) File "/opt/cdstoolbox/cdscompute/cdscompute/caching.py", line 108, in cached result = proc(context, *context.args, **context.kwargs) File "/opt/cdstoolbox/cdscompute/cdscompute/services.py", line 124, in __call__ return p(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/cdstoolbox/cdscompute/cdscompute/services.py", line 60, in __call__ return self.proc(context, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/cds/cdsservices/services/retrieve.py", line 200, in execute **retrieve_kwargs File "/opt/cdstoolbox/cdscompute/cdscompute/context.py", line 301, in call return c.call(service, *args, **kwargs).value File "/opt/cdstoolbox/cdsworkflows/cdsworkflows/future.py", line 76, in value raise self._result cdsworkflows.error.ClientError: None


Please tell me if I am doing something wrong.

Best regards,

Slavica

Hi Slavica,

apologies for the delay in replying to you. I just tried the Toolbox script and it ran ok, so suspect that there was an issue with the CDS when you tried to run it,

Thanks,

Kevin
