Canadian Surface Reanalysis (CaSR)

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has produced a surface and precipitation reanalysis for North and Central America on a 10 km grid. For the current version (version 3.2), the ERA5 reanalysis from ECMWF was used as input to ECCC's global models, and the output was dynamically downscaled over North and Central America. More detailed information can be found on ECCC's website [https://hpfx.collab.science.gc.ca/~scar700/rcas-casr/dataset_specifics.html].
