C1 - Climate stations - Homogeneous measurements

The Swiss National Basic Climatological Network "Swiss NBCN" connects the major ground-based stations within the MeteoSwiss monitoring network. It consists of around 30 climate monitoring stations.

The homogenous time series data for temperature, precipitation and hours of sunshine date back, in some cases, to the mid-nineteenth century.

1.1. Data granularity, update frequency, format and volume

If you require daily, monthly or annual values, we strongly recommend that you download the corresponding aggregated data granularity D, M, Y and update frequency daily (recent) or yearly (historical) for each station.

Data format of all files is CSV with an estimated volume of ≤0.9 MB per file.

See example data files for station BAS for all granularities and update frequencies mentioned: ogd-nbcn_BAS_(data granularity)_(update frequency).
