aemet data

Series of daily summaries of 73 spanish weather stations selected for the period 1980-2009. The dataset contains geographic information of each station and the average for the period 1980-2009 of daily temperature, daily precipitation and daily wind speed.

Format

Elements of aemet:
..$df: Data frame with information of each wheather station:

• ind: Indicated weather station.

• name: Station Name. 36 marked UTF-8 strings.

• province:Province (region) of Spain. 36 marked UTF-8 strings

• altitude: Altitude of the station (in meters).

• year.ini: Start year.

• year.end: End year.

• longitude: x geographic coordinate of the station (in decimal degrees).

• latitude: y geographic coordinate of the station (in decimal degrees).

The functional variables:

• ...$temp: mean curve of the average daily temperature for the period 1980-2009 (in degrees Celsius, marked with UTF-8 string). In leap years temperatures for February 28 and 29 were averaged.

• ...$wind.speed: mean curve of the average daily wind speed for the period 1980-2009 (in m/s).

• ...$logprec: mean curve of the log precipitation for the period 1980-2009 (in log mm). Negligible precipitation (less than 1 tenth of mm) is replaced by 0.05 and no precipitation (0.0 mm) is replaced by 0.01. Then the logarithm is applied.
