Resum:
According to World Meteorological Organization recommendations, a comprehensive metadata of meteorological records has been developed for the Catalan county of Ribera d'Ebre. After an exhaustive field and archive work, this study shows that 23 meteorological stations (official networks) have been operative during the last 100 years but only 12 remain active at the present moment. For each one of them we have documented location, observer, instruments, exposition, procedure and observational practices and surrounding conditions as well as changes in any of mentioned aspects. This available information about metadata can be very useful to reject some records, detecting erroneous data or inhomogeneities during quality control and homogenization procedures and obviously to improve corrections.
