A dataset of meteorological observations from the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station in Antarctica during the past 35 years
The Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station are China's permanent scientific research stations in Antarctica,located on King George Island and in the Larsemann Hills respectively.These two stations are representative observation stations for studying climate change in the coastal areas of West and East Antarctica,respectively.Since the completion of the two stations,surface meteorological observations have been carried out following the specifications set by the China Meteorological Administration.This dataset collects surface meteorological data from the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station from 1985 to 2022.The dataset has undergone quality controlled in accordance with the Specifications for Surface Meteorological Observation.It can provide long-term continuous surface meteorological observation data on surface air temperature,relative humidity,air pressure,wind speed,wind direction and cloud amount.This dataset can be used for the research on weather processes,climate change and numerical weather forecast in Antarctic.
