ERA-Interim Climatologies

Feature-based ERA-Interim Climatologies

This collection of ERA-Interim based global climatologies of Eulerian and Lagrangian flow features is based on past and ongoing research of the Atmospheric Dynamics group at ETH Zürich. This webpage offers you access to monthly or longer-term averaged global fields from these climatologies. You can download netCDF, png or pdf files for the desired time period. The available fields span the period from January 1979 until (currently) February 2014.
