Statistical Reconstruction of Daily Precipitation and Temperature Fields in Switzerland back to 1864

Spatial information on past weather contributes to better understand the processes behind day-to-day weather variability and to assess the risks arising from weather extremes. This dataset provides daily, high-resolution reconstructions of precipitation and temperature fields for Switzerland back to 1864. Reconstructions are provided as "raw" data resulting from an analogue resampling method (ARM), as well as post-processed data (using an ensemble Kalman fitting approach for temperature and quantile mapping for precipitation. For further information, the reader is referred to the references.

The dataset comprises the following files: - 2019-10-06_precip_ARM_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (precipitation, analogue reconstructions) - 2019-10-06_precip_qmap_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (precipitation, post-processed) - 2019-10-06_temp_ARM_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (temperature, analogue reconstructions) - 2019-10-06_temp_EnKF_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (temperature, post-processed)
