 === 1.5 WFDEI_CRU ===

+
+As this data is based on the ERA-I re-analysis the fluxes are cumulated over the 3h period preceding the time-stamp. All other variables are instantaneous at the given date. This is now properly described by the cell_method data in the netCDF file. 
 
 === 1.6 WFDEI_GPCC ===
 
+This is the same atmospheric forcing as the one described above except that rainfall is now corrected with the GPCC data : http://www.dwd.de/bvbw/appmanager/bvbw/dwdwwwDesktop?_nfpb=true&_windowLabel=T12404818261141645314319&_urlType=action&switchLang=en&_pageLabel=_dwdwww_klima_umwelt_datenzentren_wzn
+As this rainfall series is shorter, WFDEI_GPCC has fewer years than WFDEI_CRU.

 === 1.8 ERA_05 ===
 
+This meteorological data set has been prepared by ECMWF in the framework of the Earth2Observe project : http://www.earth2observe.eu/
+
+It is a simple bi-linear interpolation of the ERA-I gaussian grid (N128) output without special consideration for the land/sea mask. It was thus considered, in consultation with Emanuel Dutra of ECMWF, to use the same land/sea mask as WFDEI and hope that the atmospheric forcing on coastal points will not be too badly affected by the methodology.
+
+The value of this forcing lies in its close relation to the ERA-I re-analysis and its extension to December 2014.

+
+
 === 1.9 ERA_05_GPCP
+
+This is the same forcing as ERA_05 except for the rainfall and snow fall from the re-analysis which were corrected with the GPCP estimates (http://precip.gsfc.nasa.gov/).
