title: Summary raw meteorological data from the Southern Ocean collected on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) during the austral summer of 2016/2017.

description: <strong>Dataset abstract</strong> A Vaisala MAWS240 meteorological station was installed on the R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov during a circumnavigation of Antarctica in the austral summer season of 2016/2017. This dataset contains the raw meteorological data that have been extracted from the original raw text data files. Data coverage is from 17th November 2016 until 11th April 2017, with gaps where the ship was in port. Air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, solar radiation, ultraviolet radiation, cloud level and sky cover were recorded with a resolution of 30 seconds. Averaged wind parameter data are provided. Date_time should be combined with TIMEDIFF to convert it to UTC. Latitude and longitude recorded are not corrected. Underway seawater measurements were recorded as null values. Data from this dataset have been corrected and quality-checked in another published dataset. We recommend these data for further use (Landwehr et al., 2019; DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3379590). <strong>Dataset contents</strong> metdata_all_YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD.csv, data file, comma-separated values data_file_header, metadata, text format README.txt, metadata, text format ace_meteorology_raw_summary_change_log.txt Data files contain data for each leg of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Dates included in the file name are the start and end dates of the legs and therefore the data within the files as well. <strong>Change log</strong> <strong>v1.2</strong> - Added missing data from 2017-02-05 - 2017-02-08 inclusive. Updated this change log file. <strong>v1.1</strong> - Added additional data coverage from 2016-11-17 - 2016-11-22 inclusive, into the first data file. Updated README.txt with information about data coverage. Added this change log file. <strong>v1.0</strong> - Initial release of raw summary meteorological data. <strong>Dataset license</strong> This raw meteorological dataset is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) whose full text can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
