Description:
For each pixel, the geodesic distance and the vertical distance to the closest weather station for precip and for temp were calculated. These three dimensions were combined into a single one for precip and one for temp based on the Euclidean distance.  The less distance there is these 3 dimensions (x,y,z), the less uncertainty there is. Higher values mean more uncertainty.
