Abstract

Attempts to validate General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations-predictions of field surface meteorological conditions refer only to large areas. Such attempts for catchment scale areas have been extremely limited due to the absence of systematic historical records, appropriate time scales and methods of spatially averaging the observational data aligned with GCM formulations. We describe a set of eleven precipitation stations and three temperature stations installed in and around the mountainous Mesochora catchment in Central Greece, for the 1972-86 period. Due to the available daily precipitation and temperature records were incomplete, a combinatorial scheme of the Thiessen method and station a
