PeakWeather is a high-resolution, quality-controlled dataset of surface weather |
|
|
observations from 302 stations across Switzerland, collected by the Swiss |
|
|
Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology (MeteoSwiss) over more than |
|
|
eight years. Designed to support research in spatiotemporal modeling, it |
|
|
includes dense time series data, topographical features, and numerical weather |
|
|
forecasts from an operational model at MeteoSwiss. |

## What's Inside |
|
|
|
|
|
- 302 weather stations across complex Swiss topography; |
|
|
- 10-minute sampling from January 1st, 2017 to October 13th, 2025 (461,952 time steps); |
|
|
- 8 meteorological variables: air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, precipitation amount, wind speed/direction, wind gust, sunshine duration; |
|
|
- Topographic features from a 50m-resolution digital height model; |
|
|
- Numerical weather forecasts (ICON-CH1-EPS) for benchmarking; |
|
|
- Metadata for stations and variables, as well as sensor relocations information; |
|
|
- Missing values and resampling utilities. |
