Padua daily temperature 1980-2022

Daily minimum and maximum temperature measurements collected in Padua, Italy, between 1980 and 2022, are reported. Over this period, the weather station of Padua center underwent many changes, in location or instrument; therefore, some homogeneity tests have been used to identify and remove the effects of these variations and obtain a homogeneous time series. Both absolute and relative tests have been applied and several nearby stations and two reanalysis datasets (ERA5 and MERIDA) have been considered, to enhance the picture of the local situation and provide more robust conclusions. The original observations and the final complete corrected time series with the associated metadata are reported.OB_UNIPD contains daily minimum and maximum temperature collected at the Botanical Garden between 01/01/1980 and 31/12/1993 by the University of Padua;OB_micros_UNIPD contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the Botanical Garden between 01/10/1993 and 13/12/2001 by the University of Padua using a <i>MICROS</i> weather station;OB_ARPAV contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the Botanical Garden between 01/05/2000 and 10/03/2019 by ARPAV;CUS_ARPAV contains daily minimum and maximum temperatures collected at the University Sports Center between 11/03/2019 and 30/06/2023 by ARPAV;OB_FINAL_SERIES contains the homogenized daily minimum and maximum temperatures between 01/01/1980 and 30/06/2023, using OB_ARPAV as reference. Metadata are also indicated, reporting the source of each value. The meaning of the metadata codes is reported in OB_FINAL_SERIES_metadataFurther details are available in Stefanini et al. 2023, https://doi.org/10.3390/cli11120244.<b><i>Corrigendum</i></b><i>: the transfer functions reported in the supplementary material of </i><i>https://doi.org/10.3390/cli11120244</i><i> must be replaced with those listed in </i><i>OB_FINAL_SERIES_metadata.</i>
