The SACA dataset contains
11876 series of observations for
9 elements at
10064 meteorological stations throughout Southeast Asia.
Both
blended
and
non-blended
SACA series are available.
Blended
series are series that are near-complete by infilling from nearby
stations. They are also updated using synoptical messages. Only these
blended
series are further analysed in SACA&D and used for gridding. Details of
the blend and update proces are given in the
specific FAQ
or in Project info >
ATBD
.
Meteorologogical observations are taken at many stations accross Southeast
Asia, each day. To minimize the effects of changes over time in the way
the measurements were made, rigorous quality control is applied before the
data is used to analyse extremes. Meta data describing the observation
site and instrumentation guides this process. Improving the dataset
requires continuous effort.
Meta information for the daily series is provided below, both for the
blended
and
non-blended
series. The
blended
series have been tested for homogeneity, which is relevant to assess the
quality of each series for climate change research. Meta information for
the stations is also provided, including site pictures and land use data
if available (first menu item).
