Earth System Science Data, submitted A consistent meteorological dataset of the Arctic site Ny-Ålesund (11.9°E, 78.9°N) spanning the 18-year-period 1 August 1993 to 31 July 2011 is presented. Instrumentation and data handling of temperature, humidity, wind and pressure measurements are described in detail. Monthly mean values are shown for all years to illustrate the interannual variablity of the different parameter. Climatological mean values are given for temperature, humidity and pressure. From the climatological dataset, we also present the time series of annual mean temperature and humidity, revealing a temperature increase of +1.35 K per decade and an increase in water vapor mixing ratio of +0.22 g/kg per decade for the given time period, respectively. With the continuation of the presented measurements, the Ny-Ålesund high resolution time series will provide a reliable source to monitor Arctic change and retrieve trends in the future. The relevant data are provided in high temporal resolution as averages over 5 [1] minutes before [after] 14 July 1998, respectively, placed on the PANGAEA repository (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.793046). While synoptic observations by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute reach back to 1935 (Førland et al., 2011), the meteorological data presented here cover a shorter time period, but their high temporal resolution will be of value for atmospheric process studies on shorter time scales. completed Air temperature at 10 m height Air temperature at 2 m height Anemometer Author(s) Barometer DD10 DD2 FF10 FF2 Humidity, relative Hygrometer PoPoPoPo Pyranometer RH SSD SWD OG1 SWD RG8 Short-wave downward radiation, 525 - 3000 nm Short-wave downward radiation, 696 - 3000 nm Station pressure Sunshine duration T10 T2 Thermometer Title Total Ultraviolet Radiometer (TUVR), Eppley URL data UV rad Ultraviolet radiation Universal resource locator/link to data file Wind direction at 10 m height Wind direction at 2 m height Wind speed at 10 m height Wind speed at 2 m height Year Year of Publication average average, redundant measurements theme PANGAEA Keyword List 1995-01-01 creation PANGAEA info@pangaea.de http://www.pangaea.de/ information pointOfContact AWI_Meteo Meteorological Long-Term Observations @ AWI BSRN Baseline Surface Radiation Network theme PANGAEA Project List 1995-01-01 creation PANGAEA info@pangaea.de http://www.pangaea.de/ information pointOfContact copyright copyright CC-BY: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported textTable eng geoscientificInformation 11.930000000000147 11.930000000000147 78.92500000000126 78.92500000000126 1993-08-01T00:00:00 2011-07-31T23:59:00 application/zip unknown http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.793046?format=zip download dataset The data set was checked for completeness, correctness, and consistency of metainformation.
