I am downloading the Era5 Hourly Pressure Level Data with the product type set to Reanalysis, and the download works fine. However, when I check the metadata of the file, I see an unexpected attribute:
long_name: ensemble member numerical id
I never selected any ensemble members while choosing the product type. Why is this attribute appearing in the metadata? Does it affect my dataset in any way?
Below, is the API request code
import cdsapi
dataset = “reanalysis-era5-pressure-levels”
request = {
