| description | <p>We present a new publicly available daily gridded dataset
of maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation data covering the whole
territory of Slovenia from 1950 to 2018. It represents the great variability
of climate at the crossroads between the Mediterranean, Alpine and
continental climatic regimes with altitudes between 0–2864 m a.s.l. We
completely reconstructed (quality control and gap filling) the data for the
three variables from 174 observatories (climatological, precipitation and
automatic stations) with the original records all over the country. A
comprehensive quality control process based on the spatial coherence of the
data was applied to the original dataset, and the missing values were
estimated for each day and location independently. Using the filled data
series, a grid of <span class="inline-formula">1×1</span> km spatial resolution with 20 998 points was created
by estimating daily temperatures (minimum and maximum) and precipitation,
as well as their corresponding uncertainties at each grid point. In order to show
the potential applications, four daily temperature indices and two on
precipitation were calculated to describe the spatial distribution of (1) the absolute maximum and minimum temperature, (2) the number of frost days,
(3) the number of summer days, (4) the intensity of precipitation and (5) the
maximum number of consecutive dry days. The use of all the available
information, the complete quality control and the high spatial resolution of the grid allowed for an accurate estimate of precipitation and temperature that represents a precise spatial and temporal distribution of daily
temperatures and precipitation in Slovenia. The SLOCLIM dataset is publicly
available at <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4108543">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4108543</a> and
