Padua daily temperature 1725-2023

Daily minimum and maximum temperature observations collected in Padua, Italy, between 1774 and 2023 and daily mean temperatures between 1725 and 1773, are reported. By means of the paleo-reanalysis dataset ModE-RA, it has been possible to homogenize the ancient part of the series, 1725-1773, mainly composed of only 1 or, less frequently, 2 or 3 observations per day, to the rest of the series. The period 1774-2023 has been homogenized by means of trasfer functions to the most recent period. The original observations and the final complete corrected time series with the associated metadata are reported.PD_Poleni contains daily temperatures at noon derived from the observations of Giovanni Poleni and his son Francesco between 12/01/1725 and 31/12/1764;PD_Morgagni contains daily temperatures at noon derived from the observations of Giambattista Morgagni between 01/01/1740 and 31/12/1768;PD_Toaldo contains daily temperatures near the sunrise collected by Giuseppe Toaldo between 01/05/1766 and 31/12/1773;PD_Specola contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the Astronomical Observatory "Specola" between 01/01/1774 and 31/12/1955;PD_Idrografico contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the Magrini Observatory of the "Ufficio Idrografico" between 01/01/1920 and 31/12/1996;PD_AM contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the airport of Padua by the Air Force between 01/01/1951 and 29/12/1990;PD_OB contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the Botanical Garden between 01/01/1980 and 31/12/2023. This is the result of a recent work, for further details see: Stefanini et al. 2023 (https://doi.org/10.3390/cli11120244);PD_hom contains the homogenized daily minimum, maximum and mean temperatures between 12/01/1725 and 31/12/2023, using PD_OB as reference. Metadata are also indicated, reporting the source of each value. The meaning of the metadata codes is reported in PD_hom_metadata.
