The data set comprises: (1) location of climatic stations in Croatia, (2) temperature (TEMP) and precipitation (PREC) measurements for year 2008. Temperature is measured with mercury-in-glass thermometers that are situated inside of a wooden shelter, the so called ‘Stevenson’ screen, which allow the air circulation while sheltering the sensors from direct sun exposure. The precision of the temperature readings is tenth of °C. On most climatological stations temperature is measured three times a day, at 7 a.m., 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. The daily mean can be calculated as a weighted average. The rain is collected in a bottle within the rain gauge and readings are usually manual by an observer at 7 a.m. The precipitation collected in the morning refer to the precipitation for previous 24 hours.
The point data set consists of a total of:
The location of the 159 meteorological stations and 489 rainfall gauges is visible in map on the right. Precipitation of 0 mm is left blank in database, so replace it with 0 mm. If the precipitation is negative or equals 9977, you need to replace it with "NA" values. The missing values in temperature are indicated with -99.9.
Static topographic predictors (grids):
Time-series of RS based predictors:
All grids are projected in the UTM zone 32 system. Position of the climatic stations is in the local LatLon system ("+proj=longlat +ellps=bessel +towgs84=550.499,164.116,475.142,5.80967,2.07902,-11.62386,0.99999445824").
