Description

Series of daily summaries of 73 spanish weather stations selected for the period 1980-2009. The dataset contains geographic information of each station and the average for the period 1980-2009 of daily temperature, daily precipitation and daily wind speed.

Format

Elements of aemet: ..$df: Data frame with information of each wheather station:

• ind: Indicated weather station.

• name: Station Name. 36 marked UTF-8 strings.

• province:Province (region) of Spain. 36 marked UTF-8 strings

• altitude: Altitude of the station (in meters).

• year.ini: Start year.

• year.end: End year.

• longitude: x geographic coordinate of the station (in decimal degrees).

• latitude: y geographic coordinate of the station (in decimal degrees).
