The 5 3D fields from EH5OM are:
       H (geopotential height, unit m)
       T (air temperature,     unit K)
      RH (relative humidity,   unit -)
       U (zonal wind,          unit m/s)
       V (meridional wind,     unit m/s)

They are at pressure levels (1000, 925, 850, 775, 700, 600, 500,
              400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 70, 50, 30, 10 hPa)

And monthly Aerosol fields at the EcHAM5 model levels could also be
used (optional).
