Radiation data (2014-2019) at site D17 (Adelie Land, East Antarctica)

This dataset reports raw half-hourly radiative fluxes acquired at site D17 on the marginal slopes of Adelie Land (East Antarctica) and complements another dataset on near-surface meteorological variables including drifting-snow mass fluxes at the same location. The available data have been measured almost continuously since mid February 2014 with a Kipp and Zonen CNR4 net radiometer installed 2 m above ground and include downward/upward shortwave/longwave radiation.
