The ECA dataset contains series of daily observations at meteorological stations throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Part of the dataset is freely available for non-commercial and educational research: see our data policy for more details. To download this public data select one of the options below. Note that a gridded version with daily temperature, precipitation and pressure fields is also available, as well as a predefined set of aggregated indices data.

For an overview of all available daily series and stations, see the Data dictionary

Both blended and non-blended ECA series are available for download. 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 ECA&D and used for gridding. Details of the blend and update proces are given in the specific FAQ or in Project info > ATBD.

For questions about these data and conditions for access to the full dataset, please contact the ECA&D Project Team.
