Spatial information on past weather contributes to better understand the processes behind day-to-day weather variability and to assess the risks arising from weather extremes. This dataset provides daily, high-resolution reconstructions of precipitation and temperature fields for Switzerland back to 1864. Reconstructions are provided as "raw" data resulting from an analogue resampling method (ARM), as well as post-processed data (using an ensemble Kalman fitting approach for temperature and quantile mapping for precipitation. For further information, the reader is referred to the references.The dataset comprises the following files:- 2019-10-06_precip_ARM_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (precipitation, analogue reconstructions)- 2019-10-06_precip_qmap_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (precipitation, post-processed)- 2019-10-06_temp_ARM_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (temperature, analogue reconstructions)- 2019-10-06_temp_EnKF_1864-01-01-2017-12-31.nc (temperature, post-processed)
