DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

1. File List:

'MOTEDAScentury_TMAX_1916-2015.csv'	
'MOTEDAScentury_TMIN_1916-2015.csv'	
'Infogeo_Spain10.csv'



2. Relationship between files, if important: The format TMAX and TMIN is the same (pixel code, year and monthly values); InfoGeo_Spain10 includes metadata (pixel code, latitude-longitude and altitude)


3. Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package: N/A.


4. Are there multiple versions of the dataset? If so, please indicate where they are located:

There exists one extended version, 1915-2020: MOTEDAScentury: a long-term monthly temperature grid for the Spanish mainland v.1.1.0 [Dataset] (https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/341450).
There exists one previous version, 1950-2010: MOTEDAS: a monthly temperature grid for the Spanish mainland [Dataset] (https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/341458).

Consider that differentg approaches were applied in versions.

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Raw data from BNDC (AEMET) were quality controlled, and monthly field were reconstrucetd individually by interpolation ADW and then converted to a grid of 10 x 10 km  following the approach presented in Gonzalez-Hidalgo JC,Peña-Angulo D, Beguería S, Brunetti M. MOTEDAS century: A new high-resolution secularmonthly maximum and minimum temperature grid for the Spanish mainland (1916–2015). IntJ Climatol. 2020;40:5308–5328.https://doi.org/10.1002/joc.6520
