High-frequency, hourly, and daily UV measurements from Lake Hoare Meteorological Station (HOEM), McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (2015-2022, ongoing)

As part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long-Term Ecological Research program, total ultraviolet (UV) irradiance has been measured since 2015 using an independent UV radiometer system co-located with the Lake Hoare Meteorological Station (HOEM) in Taylor Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. Data are provided at high frequency (5-minute intervals), along with hourly and daily summaries. Users should note that summary statistics may be affected by periods of missing data. Since there is no universally accepted standard for handling gaps in time-series data, users are encouraged to work with the high-frequency data and establish their own criteria for acceptable data completeness to minimize any potential bias.
