SAFRAN dataset for Spain

The main objective of SAFRAN is to produce an estimation of the meteorological screen-level variables necessary to force a Land-Surface Model (LSM). To this end, SAFRAN uses all available observations and a first guess (i.e. the outputs of a numerical weather prediction model). It produces gridded datasets of temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and other necessary variables. The time step of the outputs is hourly, however, SAFRAN only assimilates observed data every six hours (every day for precipitation).
