BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

The dataset is freely available on the web repository of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). There are 6 files in NetCDF format: 3 with precipitation estimations (pcp_) and 3 with standard errors (err_) of each estimation. Each of 3 files represent peninsular Spain (pen_), Balearic islands (bal_) and Canary islands (can_)., Spanish PREcipitation At Daily scale (SPREAD) is a new daily gridded precipitation dataset for Spain. It covers the whole territory of peninsular Spain and Balearic and Canary Islands at a 5x5 kilometre spatial resolution. Daily precipitation was estimated for each point of the grid from 1950-01-01 to 2012-12-31 in peninsular Spain and from 1971-01-01 to 2012-12-31 in the Balearic and Canary Islands. The grid was built using a previously reconstructed station-based dataset using reddPrec package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/reddPrec). The observed precipitation information comprised 12,858 stations provided by Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET); Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAGRAMA); Meteorologic Service of Catalonia (METEOCAT); Navarra Government and several hydrological confederations., This study was supported by research projects CGL2015-69985-R and CGL2014-52135-C3-1-R, funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO) and FEDER-ERDF funds. The researchers were supported by the Government of Aragón through the ‘Programme of research groups’ (groups ‘H38, Clima, Cambio Global y Sistemas Naturales’ and ‘E68, Geomorfología y Cambio Global’)., No
