TL;DR: The Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) dataset as discussed by the authors provides the first estimates of global tropospheric variability, and of the dataset's time-varying quality, from 1871 to the present at 6-hourly temporal and 2° spatial resolutions.

TL;DR: The European Climate Assessment (ECA) dataset as discussed by the authors is a dataset of daily resolution climatic time series that has been compiled for the European climate assessment (ECA), which consists of 199 series of minimum, maximum and/or daily mean temperature and 195 series of daily precipitation amount observed at meteorological stations in Europe and the Middle East.

TL;DR: The HISTALP database as mentioned in this paper consists of monthly homogenised records of temperature, pressure, precipitation, sunshine and cloudiness for the "Greater Alpine Region" (GAR, 4-19°E, 43-49°N, 0-3500m asl).

TL;DR: In this article, the Italian monthly temperature (mean, maximum and minimum) and precipitation data set was updated and completely revised and the series were subjected to a detailed quality control and homogenisation procedure, where the bias affecting original data is quantified by studying the temporal evolution of the mean adjustments applied to the series and examined in the light of the stations history.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed century-long daily temperature and precipitation records for stations in Europe west of 60°E and defined a set of climatic indices derived from the daily series, mainly focusing on extremes.
