Transformed Eulerian mean data from the ERA5 reanalysis (monthly means)

<p>This dataset provides <strong>monthly</strong> and zonal mean variables derived from the ERA5 reanalysis, including terms of the transformed Eulerian mean (TEM) momentum budget.</p> <p>All variables (zonal, meridional and vertical wind speed, temperature, zonal wind tendencies from Eliassen-Palm (EP) flux divergence and advection, EP fluxes and the residual streamfunction) are obtained from 6-hourly and native vertical and 0.5 degrees spatial resolution data. Zonal mean wind tendency from parameterizations is also provided (from the forecasts). Data are obtained from the MARS archive.</p> <p>Data are provided as one .zip file per decade (only partial for the 2020s and 1950s). <strong>Daily</strong> means of the same quantities are provided in a companion dataset (10.5281/zenodo.7081436).</p> <p>The data and related documentation are provided &#39;as is&#39; and without any warranty of any kind. Users are invited to report any issue or inconsistency they may find.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Known issues:</p> <p>- All TEM terms divided by<em> <span>\(\cos(\phi)\)</span></em>, where&nbsp;<span>\(\phi\)</span> is latitude, diverge at the north and south poles (where <span>\(\phi = \pm \pi/2\)</span>), so they should not be considered. If variables at the poles are needed, values at neighbouring latitudes should be taken.</p>
