Era5cli

[!IMPORTANT] The old Climate Data Store (CDS) has been shut down. All era5cli versions up to v1.4.2 will no longer work.

For more information see: https://forum.ecmwf.int/t/goodbye-legacy-climate-data-store-hello-new-climate-data-store-cds/6380/14

To continue using era5cli, you will need to re-register at ECMWF and get a new API key, and transition to era5cli version 2. This can be installed with: pip install era5cli==2.0.1

[!WARNING] netCDF files from the new Climate Data Store Beta are not formatted the same as the old CDS. Some variables might be missing. See the open issue here, as well as the ECMWF discussion forum.

• List and retrieve information on available variables and pressure levels
• Select multiple variables for several months and years
• Split outputs by years (and optionally months), producing a separate files instead of merging them in one file
• Download multiple files at once
