# AGRI4CAST European Gridded Meteorological Data (25km Grid, 2014-2024)

## Dataset Description

This dataset provides **gridded daily agro-meteorological data** at a **25 km resolution**, covering the entire **European continent**. The data is derived from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) AGRI4CAST portal.

The dataset spans from **2014 to 2024**, offering a consistent time series of essential climate variables formatted for agricultural modeling, environmental research, and machine learning applications.

## Usage

You can easily load this dataset using the Hugging Face `datasets` library:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("lmoncla/agri4cast-meteorological-data-europe-2014-2024", split="train")

# Convert to a Pandas DataFrame for analysis
df = dataset.to_pandas()

# Display the first few rows
print(df.head())
```

## Dataset Structure

### Data Fields

The dataset consists of the following variables:

- **Mean Air Temperature:** Daily mean temperature, measured in degrees Celsius (°C).
- **Sum of Precipitation:** Total daily precipitation, measured in millimeters per day (mm/day).
- **Total Global Radiation:** Total daily global radiation, measured in kilojoules per square meter per day (KJ/m²/day).

### Temporal & Spatial Specifications
- **Temporal Resolution:** Daily.
- **Time Range:** 2014 – 2024.
- **Spatial Resolution:** 25 km × 25 km grid cells.
- **Geographic Coverage:** Europe (JRC AGRI4CAST extent).
