The ERA5 surface dataset seems to include negative soil water values, which is practically impossible. It would be helpful if someone could provide some information, is it a model output error?

    Hi,

    the problem is with the grib encoding. If a value is very close to zero it could be encoded as a negative value in the grib file, but it should be treated as zero.
