Abstract Key message: A harmonized, comprehensive meteorological time series for 78 German intensive forest monitoring plots (Level II) has been made available from 1961 to 2019. The used hybrid spatial interpolation routine using simple linear regression and inverse distance weighting allows for gap filling of missing data and also for extrapolation outside measurement period to analyze long-term effects of climate on forest ecosystems. The dataset is available at https://www.openagrar.de/receive/openagrar_mods_00079174 . The associated metadata are available at: https://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/433a028f-dfc8-4a7c-82af-b8d7efafd724 .
