CERA-20C is the ECMWF 10-member ensemble of coupled climate reanalyses of the 20th century, from 1901-2010. It is based on the CERA assimilation system, which assimilates only surface pressure and marine wind observations as well as ocean temperature and salinity profiles. It is an outcome of the ERA-CLIM2 project. For any questions regarding the data access and the data itself, please go to https://climate.copernicus.eu/c3s-user-service-desk and look at the Knowledge Base or contact the User Support via the Enquiry Portal. This file contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service Information for the years noted in the metadata; neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use that may be made of the Copernicus Information or data it contains.
