Understanding permafrost processes and their links to polar climate requires long-term observational datasets. This data product is a quality-controlled and homogenised selection of meteorological and soil data from the Bayelva long-term observatory near Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, which has been in operation since 1998. We combined the data from multiple sensors at the site into a single, consistent dataset with hourly resolution and corrected for known offsets of specific sensors. The data provide observations of temporally variable parameters that mitigate energy fluxes between the soil and atmosphere, such as snow depth, liquid precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and radiation fluxes. Furthermore, the data cover active layer and permafrost temperature and moisture at multiple depths. The quality-controlled and homogenised data product is suitable for use in integrating, calibrating, and testing permafrost as a component in Earth System Models.
