PROMICE and GC-Net automated weather station (AWS) data in Greenland.
The data is available either as csv or netcdf files. Station locations, installation (if necessary, decommission) date, location type (tundra, ice sheet, local glacier), station type (one or two levels of measurements) are available in the AWS_readme.pdf file. The AWS_sites_metadata.csv is updated at each release but can have missing coordinates if the latest positions are not known. The list of variables and their description is available in the AWS_variables.csv file. Please consult these documents before using the dataset.
See https://github.com/GEUS-Glaciology-and-Climate/pypromice for detailed information on how the data product is produced.
