From the SARAI project (https://sarai.igme.es/), we have developed a web platform that allows downloading data provided by AEMET and MITECO from a list of coordinates or a polygon located anywhere in the Iberian Peninsula or the Balearic Islands.
The web platform, developed by César Husillos Rodríguez (IGME-CSIC), can be accessed through the following link: https://sarai-data.igme.es/
This tool is very useful in any hydrogeological study. Daily accumulated precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature data are accessible from 1950-01-10 to 2022-12-31. As soon as AEMET provides new data, it will be added to the SARAI platform.
The main advantage of this tool is that the daily data interpolated by the AEMET can be used directly in a 5×5 km grid mesh (https://www.aemet.es/es/serviciosclimaticos/cambio_climat/datos_diarios?w=1). Using the platform, the daily series of three magnitudes for the desired location is downloaded in an easy-to-read ASCII file (.CSV extension). Two additional files may also be provided (depending on webform choices):
- a text file in CSV format that displays information about the AEMET nodes used to calculate these magnitudes,
- a JPG file showing a plot that illustrates the daily evolution of the three magnitudes over the specified time period.
The same can be done with piezometry data collected by MITECO (https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/agua/temas/evaluacion-de-los-recursos-hidricos/red-oficial-seguimiento/informacion-y-consulta-niveles-piezometricos.html). Again, a web-based query form is used to record the point’s coordinates, radius of influence, and the date range of interest. The result is a CSV text file format with the longest and closest piezometric series to the given point, located within the established area of influence and recorded between the selected dates. It also provides two additional files: one in CSV format containing the data from the selected piezometer, and another in JPG format with a graph of the piezometric level’s evolution over time.
