Hourly station observations of soil temperature at the depth of 10 cm in °C for Germany

These data originate from the stations of the DWD as well as legally and qualitatively equivalent partner networks.

Up to and including the complete previous year of the edition date, the data have finally passed through quality control and have been versioned.

For more recent data, quality control has not yet been completed.


All times are in UTC. According to the SYNOP convention, the hour hh denotes the measurement of hh-10min (so UTC11 denotes the time UTC10:50).

Specific usage

When investigating long term changes or trends, consider the station specific metadata.

Specific usage

Nowadays, the stations in the DWD measurement networks are set up and operated in accordance with WMO regulations.

Stations in the equivalent partner networks may deviate from WMO regulations.

Depending on the application, local, regional and influences changing with time should be considered, which can be location- and parameter specific.

Sources of long-term uncertainty are:

- changes in station height when station was re-located

- changes in instrumentation

- changes in the observation times

- changes in the calculation rule

- varying quality control procedures (Behrendt et al., 2011)

- errors during data transfer or errors in the software

- change of observing personnel

- and others (Freydank, 2014)

Conformance result

Explanation

Several steps of operational automatic quality control are applied (see Kaspar et al., 2013). Procedures completed depend on age of data. Automatic tests include tests for completeness, temporal and internal consistency, and against statistical thresholds (based on the software QualiMet, Spengler, 2002).

Conceptual consistency

Name of measure
quality_level
Measure description

The QUALITAETS_NIVEAU (QN) shows the quality control procedure applied for a data report (of several parameters) for a certain reporting time.


Data before and including 1980 can reach as best quality check level QN=5. Data after 1980 can reach QN=10 as best quality check level.

Conformance result

Explanation

QN = 1 : only formal control;

QN = 2 : controlled with individually defined criteria;

QN = 3 : automatic control and correction;

QN = 5 : historic, subjective procedures;

QN = 7 : second control done, before correction;

QN = 8 : quality control outside ROUTINE;

QN = 9 : not all parameters corrected;

QN = 10 : quality control finished, all corrections finished.
Pass
Yes

Conceptual consistency

Name of measure
quality_byte
Measure description

The QUALITAETS_BYTE (QB) denotes whether the value was objected to and/or corrected.

Conformance result

Explanation

QB = 0 : denotes not flagged,

QB = 1 : had no objections (either checked and not objected, or not checked and not objected, this can be interpreted only when considering QN);

QB = 2 : corrected;

QB = 3 : confirmed with objection rejected;

QB = 4 : added or calculated;

QB = 5 : objected;

QB = 6 : only formally checked;

QB = 7 : formal objection;

QB = -999 : quality flag does not exist.
Pass
Yes
Statement

The data are taken from the station measuring networks of Deutscher Wetterdienst as well as its predecessor organisations. The dataset is regularly updated with recent as well as with recovered historical data.

From 1997 onwards, the data have been imported operationally into the central specialist database and archived, see Behrendt et al., 2011, and Kaspar et al., 2013. Note that when going back to historical times, guidelines on observation procedure, instruments and observation times were issued by the authority in charge (see, e.g., Freydank, 2014), and might be incompletely recorded in the metadata. As explained in Kaspar et al., 2013 in the early years numerous meteorological agencies were active in the area of todays Germany. After establishment of the der International Meteorological Organization (IMO) in 1873, the various standards were gradually harmonized, resulting in a single standard 1936. After 1945, the standards in East and West Germany developed differently, and were harmonized again after re-unification in 1990. Between the end of the nineties and 2009 many stations were changed from manual to automated.
