This data set contains measurement data from 1992 to the present day in 10-minute intervals. The weather stations of GeoSphere Austria form the only comprehensive meteorological measurement network in Austria. They represent the backbone of weather forecasting, climate products, climate research and dispersion calculations at GeoSphere Austria. Our measurements are transmitted to energy suppliers, transport companies, emergency services, etc. and are also used by international organisations, other weather services and the media. The approximately 260 measuring stations cover all climate regions and altitudes in Austria. Most of them are semi-automatic weather stations (TAWES) that record basic weather elements and forward them in real time to the Hohe Warte in Vienna. There, they are checked for quality and archived in databases. The majority of the measurement data in the dataset has been quality-checked since 2006. The quality status of individual parameters can be found in the quality flags with the name suffix _flag.
The dataset is updated every 10 minutes based on the archived databases, although retroactive changes may occur due to data verification.
