Introduction

bmi_era5 package (https://github.com/gantian127/bmi_era5) is an implementation of the Basic Model Interface (BMI) for the ERA5 dataset (https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/ERA5). This package uses the CDS API (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/how-to-api) to download the ERA5 dataset and wraps the dataset with Basic Model Interface (BMI) for data control and query.

Classroom organization
In this lab, you will learn how to use the bmi_era5 package to download the ERA5 hourly reanalysis data on single level for 2 meter temperature and total precipitation in Colorado.

Learning objectives
Skills

Learn to use CDS API to access ERA5 data
Learn to use Basic Model Interface to access ERA5 data and metadata

Key concepts

CSDMS Data Component

Lab notes

This notebook is temporarily not functional on the OpenEarthscape JupyterHub due to a required package update. In the meantime, you can run it locally by accessing the notebook from Github: https://github.com/gantian127/bmi_era5.

Requirements
If run locally, see instructions at https://github.com/gantian127/bmi_era5
