MOTEDAScentury: a long-term monthly temperature grid for the Spanish mainland v.1.0.0 [Dataset]

Abstract

[EN] A monthly temperature (mean daily maximum and minimum) gridded data set over mainland Spain between December 1915 and December 2015. The dataset combines ground observations from the National Climate Data Bank (NCDB) of the Spanish national climate and weather service (AEMET) and new data rescued from meteorological yearbooks published prior to 1951 that was never incorporated into the NCDB. The yearbooks data represented a significant improvement of the dataset, as it almost doubled the number of weather stations available during the first decades of the 20th century. The final dataset contains records from 5,259 stations. The station data were interpolated on a 0.1° × 0.1° regular grid using the angular distance weighting (ADW) method.

[ES] Conjunto de datos en rejilla de temperatura mensual (promedio de los valores máximos y mínimos diarios) en la España peninsular entre diciembre de 1915 y diciembre de 2015. El conjunto de datos utilizado combina observaciones del Banco Nacional de Datos de AEMET y nuevos datos rescatados de los anuarios climáticos publicados con anterioridad a 1951, y que casi duplican la información existente sobre la primera mitad del siglo 20. El conjunto final contiene información de un total de 5.259 observatorios. Las observaciones se interpolaron a una rejilla regular de 0.1° × 0.1° mediante mediante el método de ponderación inversa a la distancia angular (ADW).
