The ECMWF OCEAN5 system is a new global eddy-permitting ocean-sea ice ensemble reanalysis analysis system. This Technical Memorandum gives a full description of the OCEAN5 system, with the focus on its Behind-Real-Time (BRT) component, the reanalysis product ORAS5. The OCEAN5 Real-Time (RT) component includes all upgrades developed for ORAS5 and runs daily using the latest observations and forcing fields from the operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP).

The two main variable groups are fuel load and fuel moisture, both of which are further divided by live/dead and wood/foliage fractions.
The dataset combines state-of-the-art model data (ERA5-Land) with observations from multiple satellites and in-situ variables into a globally complete and consistent dataset.

The movement or transfer of vorticity helps in the assessment of vertical motion of air (ascent) in the troposphere. Where a local vorticity maximum approaches an area there is a tendency for air to rise and where a local vorticity maximum moves ...

Vorticity is the tendency of an air particle to rotate or circulate around a particular point. Relative Vorticity is a measure about a vertical axis of the local rotation or spin of the air relative...

The DestinE Digital Twin for Weather-Induced Extremes (Extremes DT) supports responding and adapting to extreme events in a changing world by providing a capability to produce tailored simulations and address what-if scenarios related to extreme events in a past, present and future climate, complementing existing capabilities at national and European level.
