cds

For users outside of the ECMWF organisation, it is possible to access ERA5 data through the Copernicus Climate Data Store cdsapi instead.

The steps to set up a CDS API account are detailed here.

The only difference with the previous MARS recipes is the addition of the use_cdsapi_dataset key:

input:
    mars:
        use_cdsapi_dataset: "reanalysis-era5-complete"
        class: ea
        levtype: sfc
        param: [ 10u, 10v, 2t, msl ]
        grid: n320

This process can take some time because of the high demand on the CDS server.
