ERA5 Z500
"ERA5 reanalysis, https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/reanalysis-datasets/era5" averaged over 2x 2 grid boxes
X axis: whole world in 720 0.50° steps, first point at 0.12° E, last point at 359.62° E
Y axis: regular grid with 360 -0.50° steps, first point at 89.88° N, last point at 89.62° S

1-daily data available from 01Jan1950 to 31Oct2024 ( 27389 times)
Variable z500 (Geopotential Height) in m2 s-2
Full metadata. The associated land/sea mask is available for some operations

Get grid points, average area or generate subset

Mask:	no mask   add a mask to the list
Latitude:	°N - °N
Longitude:	°E - °E
Year range:	-
Boundaries:	halfway grid points interpolated
Make:	average max min set of grid points subset of the field
Considering:	everything land points sea points show/hide more only land points only sea points not land points not sea points
Units:	convert to m leave in m2 s-2

Create a field with lower time resolution

First fill missing data:	ignore, climatology, trend, persistence.
Then apply:	-day running mean with direction backward centred forward
Then apply new time scale:	keep same time scale annual (Jul-Jun) annual (Jan-Dec) biannual seasonal monthly 10-daily 5-daily
New variable:	mean sd sum sum above sum below number min time of min max time of max first time last time of Z500
Minimum:	% valid data
Threshold:	no cut less than greater than m2 s-2 percentile normal 1971-2000
