Continuous Subdaily Meteorological Records at Signy Station, the South Orkney Islands 1947 - 1994
The data consists of a CSV file of mean sea level pressure (MSLP, in hPa), 1.25 m temperature (in celsius), 10 m wind speed (in knots), 10 m wind direction (in degrees), and relative humidity (in percent) measured at Signy Station (Latitude 60 degress 43''0"S, Longitude 45 degrees 36''0"W) for the period of 1947 - 1994. These data were used by Lu et al. (2023) to study extreme high temperature events in the South Orkney Islands (SOIs).
Funding was provided by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to the Atmosphere, Ice and Climate Programme of British Antarctic Survey (BAS), NERC National Capability International grant SURface FluxEs In AnTarctica (NE/X009319/1) and the European Union''s Horizon 2020 research and innovation framework programme under Grant agreement no. 101003590 (PolarRES).

- Statement
- Early observations at Signy Station were taken at the standard synoptic hours (i.e., 00, 06, 12, 18 UTC) during 1947 - 1949 and then every three hours during 1950 - 1974. The records became twice daily (at 00 and 12 UTC) during 1975 - 1983 but mostly only one observation per day (at 12 UTC) during 1976 - 1981. The collection interval returned to the standard synoptic hours during 1984 - 1987. Automated collection of data then started around late 1988, which provided hourly data during 1989 - 1994.
