ERA5-Land hourly reanalysis (global)
Global weather reanalysis. CC-BY — free for any use, attribution required.
What this is
Global hourly land-surface weather reanalysis at ~9km resolution from ECMWF, 1950–present. The non-US counterpart to Daymet.
Why we surface it
Once UFFDA goes global (FTW + SoilGrids), historical climate context follows. ERA5-Land is the standard reference.
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.
