Surface Data from German Stations, Part of the Met Office Land Surface Stations Database (1990-2000)

Data were collected by stations in Germany from 1900 until 2000. These data are the Met Office's 'old' Land Surface Observation data and have been superseded by the MIDAS dataset collection. This dataset remains for historic purposes only. The data contain measurements of hourly and daily meteorological values, such as rainfall, sunshine duration, temperature, and wind speed.

The MIDAS dataset supersedes this dataset and new users should apply for access to that by following the on-screen instructions. If necessary, you will be able to access this historic dataset once you have been granted access to the MIDAS data.

The dataset contains the measurements of the following parameters:

Sunshine duration

Snow depth

Visibility

Wind speed and wind direction

Temperature

Cloud type

Past and present weather

Simple

  • Data availability and file format

    NOTE: The BADC holds the Met Office surface data as provided by the Met Office and therefore the BADC can only supply Surface Met data archived at the Met Office.

    The Met Office Land Surface data held at the BADC, are stored in a simple ASCII format (plain text and "human" readable).
