Pyrenean Digital Climate Atlas (Pdca)

Digital long-term topoclimate maps of the Pyrenees for the period 1950-2012 are elaborated by integrating meteorological station data, high-quality terrain information (altitude, latitude, distance to the sea and solar potential radiation) and multivariate geostatistical modelling in a Geographical Information System (GIS). The cartographic dataset, in monthly, seasonal and annual temporal resolutions, consists of: 1) climate maps of the air mean temperature (minimum, mean and maximum) and precipitation 2) maps of potential evapotranspiration (PET) and water availability, based on Thornthwaite and derived from the temperature and precipitation layers 3) map of the growing degree-days (GDD), with a monthly approach 4) maps of potential solar radiation. The Atlas is available in GeoTIFF format and metadata are provided in XML standard format (ISO 19139). The methodological details and related information are described in Batalla M, Ninyerola M, Catalan J [Geosci. Data J. 5 (2018)].1950-2012年比利牛斯山脉的数字化长期地形气候图集，通过整合气象站点观测数据、高精度地形信息（海拔、纬度、距海距离与太阳潜在辐射），并在地理信息系统（Geographical Information System，GIS）中开展多变量地统计建模而构建。该制图数据集包含月、季、年三种时间分辨率，具体涵盖以下内容：1）空气平均气温（最低、平均与最高气温）及降水气候地图；2）基于索恩思韦特（Thornthwaite）方法、由气温与降水图层推导得到的潜在蒸散量（potential evapotranspiration, PET）与水分可利用性地图；3）采用逐月计算方案的生长度日（growing degree-days, GDD）地图；4）潜在太阳辐射地图。本图集以GeoTIFF格式提供，元数据采用XML标准格式（ISO 19139）进行封装。该数据集的方法学细节及相关信息可参考Batalla M、Ninyerola M、Catalan J发表于《Geosci. Data J.》2018年第5期的研究成果。
