| contents | In cooperation with multiple institutes, the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht (IMAU) at Utrecht University has operated automated weather stations at 19 locations on the Antarctic ice sheet between 1995 and 2022. Besides standard meteorological measurements (pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed & direction), these stations include measured shortwave and longwave radiation components and surface height, thereby allowing for the reliable in situ quantification of the surface energy balance (SEB) and surface mass balance (SMB) at (two-)hourly temporal resolution. This unique dataset can be used for climate model evaluation and development, for the validation of remote sensing products, for the quantification of long term climatological changes, for the interpretation of ice cores, and for process understanding in general. The data are corrected for typical errors, including the heating of the unventilated thermometers, the window heating of the pyrgeometers, the longwave emission of air between the pyrgeometers and the surface, the zero-bias and tilt of the pyranometers, and the relative humidity with respect to ice. Suspicious data, such as possibly rimed samples, relative humidity exceeding 100%, or incoming shortwave radiation exceeding Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) radiation are flagged but not removed from the dataset. Non-flagged samples are also provided as calculated to standard heights above the surface, i.e. 2m for the temperature and humidity and 10m for the wind speed, using similarity theory and the variable height of the sensors. The total dataset contains 152 station-years of quality-controlled data, of which 78% include non-flagged observations of all four components of net surface radiation. About half (56%) of the dataset contains simultaneous non-flagged observations of all meteorological parameters, net radiation and surface height change. |
