Asked 13 September 2018

Where can I get hourly historical temperature data in Europe?

Dear all,
I am just struggling to easily get hourly temperature data for some locations in Europe (e.g. Italy, Spain, Portugal etc.).
Please, could you indicate me some websites that are providing this kind of data?
Thank you so much for the support,
Best,
Giorgio

To find historical temperature data, check out providers like Ambee. Their APIs are pretty solid and it provides historical weather data very accurately. If you are looking for an instant data generation website, try Gspatial.ai. They also provide data in bulk if you require it in large quantity. Ambee collects historical weather data using an advanced weather data collection system, and their methods are scientifically validated and robust. This is their website: https://www.getambee.com/. For Gspatial, check this one out https://www.gspatial.ai/

Thank you Muhammad,
Yes indeed also rp5 is a great website. However for some stations historical data are starting e.g. from 2012. In some stations I would need data starting earlier in time.

Thank you MuhammadReza,
But I do not know whether it is possible to downolad data from it.
I am interested on data resolution ranging from 12.5 X 12.5 Km to 25 X 25 Km.

I am doing a three-level meta-analysis ({rma.mv} function from the {metafor} package) which includes 13 studies and 35 effect sizes. Strangely, I've got an strange result patterns in my study. The model results indicate that the within-study variance(87%) is much larger that the between-study variance(12%). Moreover, the three moderators that I had selected cannot explain nerither of the variations. I have no idea about the result and what should I do in the next step. Shall I conduct a sensitivity analysis, or fit a random-effects model or Bayesian model(I heard that this model can address thm)? Is there something wrong with my data, like the sample is too small? I'm not sure if it's ok to calculate Hedges' g from regression coefficients in linear models. I use it anyway according to the book "Doing Meta-Analysis in R: A Hands-on Guide" . https://bookdown.org/MathiasHarrer/Doing_Meta_Analysis_in_R/es-calc.html I wan to know the cause of the results and how to address the problem. I hope that someone who is sophisticated in mate-snalysis can give me some advice. I'll greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
Should I use standard error instead variance as weight in a meta-analysis?

Dear friends,
I am conducting a meta-analysis using Fisher's Z as effect size in a general linear mixed model. I am using rma.mv function from metafor package. My question is about what measure I should use as weight in meta-analytic models. Most researchers use variance, calculated as (standard error)^2. However, I read the following passage of chapter 8 (p. 96) from the book of Koricheva et al. 2013:
"Suppose that each study provides an estimate of the effect of interest Ti, and that this estimate has a within-study sampling variance of Si², which is estimated by Si². Thus, the Ti are the effect estimates from each study, and the meta-analysis model describes the combination of these estimates across studies. It is emphasized that Si² and Si² represent the variance of the effect size estimate Ti; this is usually different from the variance of the data in the primary study. For example, if Ti is the estimated sample mean, then Si² is the estimated standard error of this mean (not the sample variance of the data). (Note that the reader may have seen some of this terminology used to represent statistical parameters within primary studies, but we are using the terms to mean something different here.)"
Therefore, I am not sure about to use variance as weight. Should I use standard error instead of variance? Any contributions will be helpful.
Best whishes,
Rafael.
