The dataset includes daily mean, maximum and minimum values of air temperature, relative air humidity, air pressure, wind speed and daily sum of solar radiation. The measurement period ran from 2018.01.01 to 2023.12.31, but it is shorter for two of the stations. Mean values were calculated from measurements taken every 10 min. Direct measurements were used to identify extreme values. The described dataset consists offour files, each for one AWS. It is available in the PANGEA online repository under a non-restrictive CC BY 4.0 licence for anyone after registration. Despite a strong correlation between the daily mean values of the parameters measured at certain stations, some differences between them were also noticeable. These were due to their location at different altitudes, in a place open to the sea or in a shaded place. Generally, values of wind speed, air humidity, solar radiation and pressure are similar to Arctowski during 2013–2017. The only notable distinction is that the mean annual air temperature and the mean air temperature in the winter months were higher than during 1977–1999 and 2013–2017. The data presented can be used as background for other research projects on King George Island, as well as for analysis of the meteorological conditions themselves. They may also be useful for the evaluation of the management plans of the eight Antarctic Specially Protected Areas or Antarctic Specially Managed Area no. 1 that are located on King George Island.</p>","PeriodicalId":54351,"journal":{"name":"Geoscience Data Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gdj3.287","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve tags define roll vortices, convective cells, mixed rolls and convective cells, fronts, rain cells, cold pools and low winds. Examples are provided for each signature. The final dataset is comprised of 2100 Sentinel-1 wave mode SAR images acquired at 36 incidence angle over an 8° × 8°region centered at 51° W, 15° N. Each image is tagged with one or multiple phenomena by five experts. This strategy extends the TenGeoP-SARwv by identifying coexisting phenomena within a single SAR image and by the addition of mixed roll/cell states and cold pools. The dataset includes PNG-formatted SAR image files along with two text files containing the file name, the central latitude/longitude, expert tags for each image, and all dataset metadata. There is a high degree of consensus among expert tags. The dataset complements existing hand-labelled ocean SAR image datasets and offers the potential for new deep-learning SAR image classification model developments.

Monthly samplings were conducted to assess environmental variables such as pH, temperature, oxygen, nutrients and heavy metals. Monitoring has been ongoing for three basins since 2009, while the remaining two basins have been monitored since 2015 and 2020. Phytoplankton data were obtained from monthly samples taken by the University of Guadalajara between 2014 and 2019 in Lake Cajititlán.

This application enables users to explore the dataset through summary statistics tables, time series plots and phytoplankton community analysis. The dataset is accessible on Zenodo. The presented data hold significance for environmental and water-quality assessment and applications in machine learning, neural network models, community ecology and broader environmental research. Notably, the raw data, publicly accessible from the State Water Commission of Jalisco, have been previously utilized for these purposes.

The lack of data that systematically record and categorize drought impacts is an important reason for this disparity. In this paper, we present an Irish drought impacts database (IDID) containing 6094 newspaper reports and 11,351 individual impact records for the island of Ireland, covering the period 1733–2019. Relevant articles were identified through systematic searching of the Irish Newspaper Archives, and recorded impacts were categorized using a modified version of the classification scheme employed by the European drought impact inventory (EDII). Drawing on the wealth and diversity of content provided by the newspapers, the IDID database provides information on the documented temporal and geographical extent of drought events, their socio-economic and political contexts, their consequences, mitigation strategies employed and their change over time. The IDID also facilitates analysis of long-term patterns in drought incidence, individual impact categories, as well as detailed insight into the impacts of individual drought events over nearly three centuries of Ireland's history. In addition, by allowing an examination of the coherence between meteorological records and identified impacts, it advances our understanding of the influences that contemporary economic, political, environmental and societal events had on the human experience, perception and impact of droughts.
