Climate Data for Bad Gastein: Weather Records Available without Gaps since 1961
Published
For Austria, gap-free daily weather and climate values have been available since 1961. This data exists for every square kilometre of the country. This makes it possible to examine the development of the climate closely, not only for large regions but also for individual places.
An example of this is Bad Gastein in the federal state of Salzburg. The data for this location was evaluated for a so-called grid point. A grid point is a computational point in a grid that covers all of Austria. The values therefore describe the climate in a defined area around Bad Gastein.
The analysis shows how weather conditions have changed over many decades. Such long data series are important because individual years often fluctuate strongly. Only over a longer period does it become visible whether the climate is changing permanently. For mountain communities, this information is particularly relevant, for example for tourism, agriculture, or protection against natural hazards.
The data is available to those interested for their own work. Anyone who wishes to understand how the climate is developing in their region can draw on these sources. The analysis for Bad Gastein is thus an example of how scientific climate data can be concretely used on the ground.
