<!--!introduction!--> In contrast to the Antarctic coastal region, there are only a few staffed weather stations in the remote plateau region. In particular, inland Dronning Maud Land (DML) on East Antarctic Plateau is one of the regions in which weather observations are the shortest and sparsest in the world. Several automatic weather stations (AWSs) have been installed since 1990s. However, owing to their remoteness and harsh environment, the missing observations occur frequently and these data gaps hinder the analysis of temperature variability and changes in the region. Here, we present complete 40-years long temperature records for Dome Fuji, Relay Station, and Mizuho in the inland DLM region, in which observations have been corrected, and gaps have been filled using the state-of-the-art global atmospheric reanalysis data. The records show the similar interannual variability among each station. A stacked annual temperature reveals a statistically significant warming trend since the late 1990s.
