Climate of the Pyrenees

CLIMPY (Characterisation of the evolution of climate and provision of information for adaptation in the Pyrenees) and OPCC-ADAPYR (Capitalization, observation, transfer and appropriation of adaptation strategies to climate change in the Pyrenees) are transboundary projects that aimed to perform a detailed analysis of recent trends in temperature, precipitation and snow cover in the Pyrenees, and their future projection. The three files provided contain daily precipitation and maximum and minimum temperature in a high-resolution gridded dataset of 1x1 km spatial resolution for the 1981-2020 period. Daily estimates for each grid point were computed from the raw data of 1,343 stations located in Spain, France and Andorra, provided by national and regional meteorological services:  Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya (SMC), Andorran Meteorological Service, Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), Météo-France (MF) using the daily precipitation and temperature reconstruction (quality control, reconstruction and gridding) from Serrano-Notivoli et al. (2017 and 2019) (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-9-721-2017 and https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-11-1171-2019).
