AgERA5 agromet (Copernicus / ECMWF)
ERA5 rethought for agriculture: daily temperature, precip, radiation, and reference-ET in the variables ag actually uses.
What this is
AgERA5 repackages ERA5 reanalysis into daily agrometeorological indicators — 2m temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, and reference evapotranspiration. Global, ~10km, 1979–present with a 7-day lag. Accessed via the Copernicus Data Space API (free account required).
Why we surface it
ERA5-Land is already in the catalog. AgERA5 is its sibling for ag work — the variable set maps directly onto GDD, crop water demand, and spray-window questions without deriving them from raw reanalysis fields.
What you can do with it
Shown for commercial use. Personal, research, and nonprofit use is often more permissive — switch the verdict lens on the catalog.
- Internal / individual use
- Free to use for any purpose, including commercial and AI training. Nothing's triggered until you share it.
- Redistribute the data
- Fine to use and redistribute, including commercially. One string attached: credit the original source wherever it shows up.
- Republish a derivative
- Build on it and republish freely, commercial or not. You must credit the original source in what you ship.
- Build into a private product
- Fine to build into a closed or commercial product. Attribution is still owed wherever the data is actually exposed to users.
This decoder is a starting point, not legal advice. For commercial deployment, run the actual license terms past someone who reads them for a living.
○ Planned
Not in the map yet — this source is on the V1 backlog. Schema, sample, and citation slots fill in once the layer ships.
