Temperature measurements from SIMBA-type sea ice mass balance buoy ZS2013b

Temperature and heating-induced temperature differences were measured along a chain of thermistors. SIMBA ZS2013b is an autonomous instrument that was installed on the landfast sea ice in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica, in May 2013. The buoy was deployed at 69.33°S; 76.44°E, ~5 km from the coast of Chinese Station Zhongshan with initial thicknesses of snow and ice of 0.10 and 0.58 m, respectively, on 24 May 2013. The thermistor chain was 5 m long and included 240 sensors with a regular spacing of 2cm. The resulting time series describes the evolution of temperature and temperature differences after two heating cycles of 30 and 120 s as a function depth and time between 24 May and 3 October 2013 in sample intervals of 6 hours for temperature and 24 hours for temperature differences.

本数据集沿热敏电阻（thermistor）链测量了温度及加热诱导产生的温差。SIMBA ZS2013b是一款自主式观测仪器，于2013年5月部署在南极东部普里兹湾的固定海冰（landfast sea ice）之上。该浮标于2013年5月24日布放于南纬69.33°、东经76.44°处，距中国中山站海岸约5公里，其时积雪初始厚度为0.10米，海冰初始厚度为0.58米。本次使用的热敏电阻链总长5米，共包含240个传感器，传感器间距固定为2厘米。所得到的时间序列记录了2013年5月24日至10月3日期间，两次时长分别为30秒和120秒的加热循环后，温度及温差随深度与时间的演化过程；其中温度采样间隔为6小时，温差采样间隔为24小时。
