Abstract

This dataset contains daily surface observations from polar automatic weather stations on Greenland for January 1987 to October 1991. Observations are reported every 3 hours and are archived for 8 stations. Data for 18 automatic weather stations in Greenland are available starting in 1999 from the Greenland Climate Network [http://cires.colorado.edu/science/groups/steffen/gcnet/]
