ERG5_Eraclito_91 — Climate dataset since 1991

The Climate Observatory produces a daily climate dataset of precipitation and temperatures (minimum and maximum) that covers the entire regional territory from 1991 to the present day. The data is obtained by spatial interpolation on a regular grid from the values detected by the network of historical weather stations. Only data from the time series that have passed rigorous quality controls contribute to the analysis. In particular, the consistency of the series, statistical homogeneity, synchronism between measurements, and spatial coherence were verified. This dataset is the source of information for [hydro-meteo-climate relations of Emilia-Romagna.](https://www.arpae.it/it/temi-ambientali/meteo/report-meteo/rapporti-annuali) A detailed description of the information sources and methods used to produce the analysis was published in the following scientific article: G. Antolini, L. Auteri, V. Pavan, F. Tomei, R. Tomozeiu, V. Marletto, 2015. A daily high-resolution gridded climatic data set for Emilia-Romagna, Italy, during 1961-2010. International Journal of Climatology 08/2015; Doi:10.1002/joc.4473 Eraclito91 contains the same precipitation data as the climatic dataset [Eraclitus](https://dati.arpae.it/dataset/erg5-eraclito), but differs by a higher density of input temperature data, especially in the hilly and lowland area, able to solve more local thermal fields and thermal inversions, thanks to the greater consistency of observational data from 1991 onwards.
