Climatology and Time Series of Surface Meteorology in Nylesund, Svalbard
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...
