Abstract
A dataset of the atmospheric Potential Gradient (PG) from Lerwick observatory in Shetland is now available, which provides hourly-averaged PG for each month, from January 1964 to July 1984. The measurements were made consistently, with calibrated and well-maintained instrumentation. Co-located meteorological observations are also available from the same site, where disturbing effects of air pollution are small. Other sources of atmospheric data such as satellite observations became increasingly abundant during the era of the measurements, making broader comparisons possible. On average, the Lerwick PG measurements contain a diurnal cycle characteristic of the global circuit and show relationships with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), especially in December. The value of the data is in the information it contains about the global atmospheric electric circuit, which is embedded in the climate system.

期刊介绍：
Geoscience Data Journal provides an Open Access platform where scientific data can be formally published, in a way that includes scientific peer-review. Thus the dataset creator attains full credit for their efforts, while also improving the scientific record, providing version control for the community and allowing major datasets to be fully described, cited and discovered.
An online-only journal, GDJ publishes short data papers cross-linked to – and citing – datasets that have been deposited in approved data centres and awarded DOIs. The journal will also accept articles on data services, and articles which support and inform data publishing best practices.
Data is at the heart of science and scientific endeavour. The curation of data and the science associated with it is as important as ever in our understanding of the changing earth system and thereby enabling us to make future predictions. Geoscience Data Journal is working with recognised Data Centres across the globe to develop the future strategy for data publication, the recognition of the value of data and the communication and exploitation of data to the wider science and stakeholder communities.
