Daily Weather Data From Central and Eastern King George Island (West Antarctica) for 2018–2023
The dataset presented in the paper contains meteorological data from four automatic weather stations (AWS) located in the central and western parts of King George Island (near Arctowski Station and Cape Lions Rump). 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.

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.
