New products of observing systems such as radars, improved interpolation techniques, spatial analyses or modeling procedures have already led to a proliferated amount of available grid data within the meteorological and climatological community. Since these products are generated by different systems the format in

Large quantities of numerical and multi medial data are collected for meteorological and climatological purposes coming in from automatic systems as well as from observers. Data from most diverse sources have to be integrated in one central database system where it undergoes various quality control and consistency check procedures. At the same time the data is continuously used by meteorological and climatological applications. This paper gives an insight into the data warehouse system and its architecture developed for the special needs of MeteoSwiss (the national weather service of Switzerland).

The increasing amount of data is a challenge for data processing, management and quality assurance. Within the MeteoSwiss Date Warehouse System a new quality control system was implemented. The different modules of this system allow to checking and treating data at a high temporal resolution (usually 10 min).
