Anyone ever tried to import the E-OBS climate data [1] into GRASS temporal
framework?

Some hints to share?

Hi Helmut,

Which particular dataset there you want to use?

There is a presentation from Soeren at 2012 GEOSTAT course [0] in which he uses one of ECAD datasets as example. Maybe useful?

What are you interested in doing, if I may ask?

Cheers,
Vero

Hi Veronica,

There is a presentation from Soeren at 2012 GEOSTAT course [0] in which he

uses one of ECAD datasets as >example. Maybe useful?

thanks for the hint!

Which particular dataset there you want to use?

http://eca.knmi.nl/download/ensembles/download.php#datafiles

daily mean temperature TG,
daily minimum temperature TN
daily maximum temperature TX
daily precipitation sum RR

what are you interested in doing, if I may ask?

I have vegetation samples across Europe, from the North to the South, from
the West to Caucasus. as this vegetation types are sensitive to temperature
and precipitation, such parameters may be included in ecology pattern
analysis.

Here is a tutorial by Soeren Gebbert:

The temporal GRASS GIS framework: Introduction and application
http://geostat-course.org/Topic_Gebbert

Slides 52 to end

ECA&D contain some serious errors:

1. look at the spatial distribution and location of the stations used

http://eca.knmi.nl/download/ensembles/data/ensembles_tg_stations_v12.0.txt
http://eca.knmi.nl/download/ensembles/data/ensembles_tn_stations_v12.0.txt
http://eca.knmi.nl/download/ensembles/data/ensembles_tx_stations_v12.0.txt
http://eca.knmi.nl/download/ensembles/data/ensembles_rr_stations_v12.0.txt

2. calculate annual averages and check if they match your
expectations. They did not match my expectations (and those of my
group) so we decided to ditch ECA&D.

analysis.

If possible, use a datasource different from ECA&D.
