Level A Pan Europe Temperature, E-HYPE 2.5

Time series for 1961 to 2001 describing corrected air temperature for each E-HYPE subbasin. The data describes daily values for each subbasin. Unit of measurement: degrees Celsius. The temperature is derived from the WFD gridded data set which consists of the ERA-40 reanalysis data set daily temperature (Weedon et al. 2011). For each subbasin (mean area 215km2), the grid point nearest the subbasin centroid is used. Temperature at the grid elevation is corrected in the HYPE model to temperature at the subbasin elevation using a factor in the parameter file. Original data source was WFD Forcing data and HYDE was used for repurposing. The data formate is a zipped text file. On the first row there is a brief description and the rest of the file contains one row per time step, with the sub basin id as each column header on the second row. The first item on each line is the time step using the format YYYY-MM-DD, so 1961-01-01 for the first of January 1961.
