Abstract:
HISTALP, a large multi-variable dataset consisting of monthly quality-checked and homogenised secular records for
the “Greater Alpine Region” (GAR, 4-19 °E, 43-49 °N, 0-3500m asl), has been set up in the last 10 years within the
frame of a number of projects coordinated by the Austrian Meteorological Central Office. It encompasses 242 sites and
concerns temperature, pressure, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, vapour pressure and relative humidity. The climate
information in HISTALP is not only stored in station-mode, but also by means of gridded data and Coarse Resolution
Subregional Mean series (CRSMs), that are available at monthly, seasonal and yearly resolution.
In this context, we are analysing the HISTALP database with the aim at giving a comprehensive picture of secular
climate variability and change in the GAR, by means of the analysis of a wide range of relevant meteorological
variables (temperature, precipitation, pressure, cloudiness, sunshine duration, vapour pressure and relative humidity).
This extended abstract shows some preliminary results of our research; full details will be given in a comprehensive
paper that is currently in preparation.
