“…In 1870 the Navy Observatory started to produce continuous and homogeneous series of the key weather variables at hourly resolution, including precipitation. In the period from 1820 to 1880 three brothers living in Cadiz generated another series of 3 observations a day (including pressure, temperature, wind direction, sky conditions) and daily precipitation as well, available from 1847 to 1880 (Barriendos et al 2002 (Roche 1898).…”

“…Although some gross error checks were undertaken by the SDC on the fraction of the digitised daily records obtained from INM, or by Barriendos et al (2002) in a simpler data verification with the Cadiz record, a more complete data quality assessment on the entire network was undertaken here to identify and label the suspicious, errant values and outliers that could remain both in the supplied readily available digitised records and in the data recovered and digitised by the authors. Careful analysis of data quality, particularly of daily data, is a key and essential task before undertaking any homogeneity assessment or any long-term climate change analysis with these data.…”

Here we present the development of a new adjusted dataset composed of the 22 longest and most reliable Spanish daily temperature records (maximum and minimum temperatures and derived daily mean temperature) covering the period 1850-2003. The paper describes the approaches followed for compiling, controlling the quality and homogenising these 22 daily Spanish records, leading to the creation of a dataset called 'Spanish Daily Adjusted Temperature Series' (SDATS). An assessment of the sources of data and metadata used is followed by a reliability assessment of the selected network. Data quality control (QC) procedures applied to raw daily maximum (T max ) and minimum (T min ) temperatures and their results are then considered. For the very first time, an empirical minimisation of the bias related to the impact of changing exposure of thermometers on the records has been undertaken. The application of the Standard Normal Homogeneity Test (SNHT) to check homogeneity of raw T max and T min data on a monthly basis is presented, together with a discussion of the causes, magnitudes and timings of the various inhomogeneities. All 22 records contained a number of inhomogeneities (2.6 on average), mainly associated with documented station relocations confirmed by the metadata available. Monthly adjustments calculated for both screen developments and from the SNHT were linearly interpolated to a daily basis following the Vincent et al. (2002) scheme. Finally, the procedures adopted for creating the regional average, the Spanish Temperature Series (STS), together with an exploratory analysis of long-term trends of each T max and T min records, are provided. The final analysis shows that over mainland Spain highly significant rates of temperature increases have occurred for T max and T min (0.12°C/decade and 0.10°C/decade, respectively) over 1850-2003.
