ERA5 flux data scaling at >1h temporal resolution

Description

When downloading ERA5 data with flex_extract at lower than 1h resolution it seems that the flux data is scaled with a wrong time step.

If i download the data with DTIME=6 to get 6 hourly output data the flux data is divided by DTIME instead of the correct 1h that is the actually accumulation time. At least if I understand the code correctly.

This is the relevant section of the CONTROL file that I am using

  DTIME 6
  TYPE AN AN AN AN
  TIME 00 06 12 18
  STEP 00 00 00 00

Maybe I have not understood the different parameters correctly yet.

Thanks for your support!

Hi,Tobias,

Recent i downloaded era5 for use, but i can only download 1hr or 3hr data by setting DTIMT to 1 or 3, when I set DTIMT to 6, it reports wrong information. It seems you can download 6hr data, can you share you control file for me.
