Abstract

The observational data described here was collected between 28 February 2011 and 30 November 2015. The data analysis and interpretation were published in the article "Surface radiation balance and weather conditions on a non-glaciated coastal area in the Antarctic region" [1]. An instrumented tower located on the non-glaciated coastal area of the of the Brazilian Antarctic Comandante Ferraz Station, at King George Island, Antarctic Peninsula was used. It was collected data of air temperature and relative humidity, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, incident and reflected shortwave radiation, longwave radiation emitted by atmosphere and by surface, and net radiation with a sampling frequency of 0.1 Hz. The data was stored as 5-min averages and automatically transmitted to the Air-Sea Interaction Laboratory, at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. The dataset is hosted in the Mendeley repository.

Keywords: Antarctic peninsula; Antarctica; King George Island; Surface radiation balance observational data; Surface wind and temperature observational data.
