Assessing the use of ERA5-Land reanalysis and spatial interpolation methods for retrieving precipitation estimates at basin scale

A stand-alone remote sensing approach based on the use of the optical trapezoid model for detecting the irrigated areas

“…Moreover, when no ground measurements are available for deriving rainfall values, alternative data sources such as the climate reanalysis could be used. For example, as suggested by Longo-Minnolo et al (2022), ERA5-Land reanalysis offers valid rainfall estimates with high probability of detection of the precipitation events. In order to map the irrigated areas without using reference data, a preliminary clustering classification was used.…”

Zonal statistics datasets of climate indicators for Brazilian municipalities

“…Since its release, the accuracy of ERA5-Land indicators has been evaluated, including research to assess some indicators’ validity in Brazil and other countries and regions (Liu et al, 2020; Braga et al, 2021; de Araújo et al, 2022; Longo-Minnolo et al, 2022; Matsunaga et al, 2023). In general, the studies conclude that the ERA5-Land indicators are valid and fulfill their main purposes.…”

Combined influence of soil moisture and atmospheric humidity on land surface temperature under different climatic background

“… 39 ERA5-Land is an enhanced ERA5 surface component dataset that describes surface hydrothermal variability and has a globally improved spatial resolution of 9 km (0.1°) created by a more advanced surface modeling technique and has been widely used for regional and global analysis. 16 , 45 , 65 , 66 , 67 …”
