Hi Mike,
I have just double checked the units in the documentation. Unless I am looking to the wrong parameter, the downward radiation is given in J m-2 see page.
https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-single-levels
Surface solar radiation downward:
This parameter is the amount of solar radiation (also known as shortwave radiation)....The units are joules per square metre (J m-2 ). To convert to watts per square metre (W m-2 ), the accumulated values should be divided by the accumulation period expressed in seconds. ....
Surface thermal radiation downwards:
Idem...
Kind regards,
Estanislao

> I am grateful to everyone for your reply, and here I will respond to your suggestions.
>
> 1.for Dr. Stanislav Martyanov =========================================
>
> Thank you for sharing the meteorological forcing variables used in the ERA5 dataset, which has benefited me a lot.
>
> But I am a bit puzzled. The GLOBAL_REANALYSIS_PHY_001_030 you mentioned should be a product of the NEMO model. Is this the open boundary forcing data you use?
>
>
> 2.for Estanislao ===================================================
>
> Thank you for your reminding. Before using the data, it is very important to know the unit of the variable, just like the unit of precipitation in ERA5 is kg ? m-2 s-1, and the unit of the corresponding variable in MITgcm-EXF is m ? s-1. In this case, you need to divide by the density of fresh water for conversion.
>
> About the unit of long and short wave radiation flux in ERA5, I'm sure that it is W ? m-2, and there should be no problem in the unit of other variables.
>
>
> 3.for Raf =======================================================
>
> Thank you for your experience. The package I use is EXF. I simply looked at the code of EXF and found that it is calling exf_bulkformulae.F for related calculations.
>
> C us - mean wind speed (m/s) at height hu (m)
> C th - mean air temperature (K) at height ht (m)
> C qh - mean air humidity (kg/kg) at height hq (m)
>
> As for the definition of various variables in height, exf_readparms. F has made relevant definitions, and I have checked that it is correct.
>
> zref = 10.000 _d 0
> hu = 10.000 _d 0
> ht = 2.000 _d 0
>
>
> 4.for Hong =======================================================
>
> Thank you for your checking. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. I put net short-wave radiation flux (nswrs) in swfluxfile, since swdown will be ignored when using swdown and swflux at the same time, so I removed swdownfile.
>
> (PID.TID 0000.0001) ** WARNING ** EXF_CHECK: "swdown" field is loaded from file but not used within pkg/exf
>
>
> Next ============================================================
> It seems that you don't have the same problem as me. Next, I plan to use ERA5 and NCEP data at the same time to find the reason for the difference between the results of model by the method of exclusion.

> Hello, Mike!

> I have recently downloaded the ERA5 reanalysis data (daily fields, GLOBAL_REANALYSIS_PHY_001_030 as labeled in Copernicus network) in order to construct the meteorological forcing for a regional ocean model (Kara Sea) based on the MITgcm. I chose the following fields:
>
> % 10m u-component of wind
> % 10m v-component of wind
> % 2m dewpoint temperature
> % 2m temperature
> % Mean total precipitation rate
> % Mean sea level pressure
> % Mean surface downward long-wave radiation flux
> % Mean surface downward short-wave radiation flux
>
> In order to compute the specific humidity, as advised in the ERA5 documentation, I used formulas given in IFS Documentation CY46R1 - part-iv-physical-processes (2m dewpoint temperature and Mean sea level pressure are used there).

> I downloaded the ERA5 dataset at https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-single-levels?tab=form
> Copernicus Climate Data Store | Copernicus Climate Data Store<https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-single-levels?tab=form>
> CDS Menu. Home; Search; Datasets; Applications; Toolbox; FAQ; Live; Copernicus Climate Data Store
> cds.climate.copernicus.eu<http://cds.climate.copernicus.eu>

> And I selected precip[mean_total_precipitation_rate. kg m-2 s-1], atemp[2m_temperature. K], swdown[mean_surface_downward_short_wave_radiation_flux. W m-2], lwdown[mean_surface_downward_long_wave_radiation_flux. W m-2], uwind[10m_u_component_of_wind. m s-1], vwind[10m_v_component_of_wind. m s-1], because ERA5 does not provide aqh directly, I used air pressure[surface_pressure Pa] and dewpoint temperature[2m_dewpoint_temperature K] to calculate aqh.
>
> Since the data is hourly, I only downloaded the area of interest(bigger than South China Sea), and besides, the data is zonally aligned from 35N to 5S, I flipped it to 5S-35N.
>
> I compared the ERA5 with NCEP, and I don't think there is much difference except for the short-wave radiation. Please check the attachment.
>
> I only have one question, do you choose the same ERA5 variables like me? If not, could you tell me which variables you choose?
>
> Please let me know if any other files are needed for diagnosis. Thanks in advance.
