North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) Weather and Radiation Buoy Data

This data set includes in situ air pressure, wind, temperature, longwave radiation, and shortwave radiation measurements. Data were recorded from 27 April 2002 by weather stations and radiometers on drifting buoys near the North Pole that were deployed by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). A lack of solar energy, which is needed to power the radiometer batteries, rendered some data useless after mid-to-late September. The North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) is a year-round, automated scientific observatory, deploying various instruments each April in order to learn how the world's northernmost sea helps regulate global climate. It consists of a set of unmanned scientific platforms that record oceanographic, cryospheric, and atmospheric data throughout the year. Data are in ASCII text format.

本数据集包含原位（in situ）大气压强、风、气温、长波辐射以及短波辐射观测数据。上述数据由太平洋海洋环境实验室（Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, PMEL）在北极附近部署的漂流浮标搭载的气象站与辐射计，自2002年4月27日起开始采集记录。由于缺乏为辐射计电池供电所需的太阳能，部分数据在9月中下旬后失效。北极环境观测站（North Pole Environmental Observatory, NPEO）是一套全年运行的自动化科学观测系统，每年4月部署各类观测仪器，旨在探究全球最北端海域如何调节全球气候。该观测站由多套无人科学平台组成，可全年不间断记录海洋学、冰冻圈与大气相关观测数据。观测数据采用ASCII文本格式存储。
