The FORBIO Climate data set for climate analyses
Description (Dublin Core)
In the framework of the interdisciplinary FORBIO Climate research project,
the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium is in charge of providing high
resolution gridded past climate data (i.e. temperature and precipitation).
This climate data set will be linked to the measurements on seedlings,
saplings and mature trees to assess the effects of climate variation on tree
performance. This paper explains how the gridded daily temperature (minimum
and maximum) data set was generated from a consistent station network between
1980 and 2013. After station selection, data quality control procedures were
developed and applied to the station records to ensure that only valid
measurements will be involved in the gridding process. Thereafter, the set of
unevenly distributed validated temperature data was interpolated on a
4 km × 4 km regular grid over Belgium. The performance of
different interpolation methods has been assessed. The method of kriging with
external drift using correlation between temperature and altitude gave the
most relevant results.
