Hourly meteorological data from Toolik Field Station, Alaska (1988-2017).

Weather data has been collected at Toolik Field Station (68 degrees 38'N, 149 degrees 36'W) since June 1988. The weather station located at the field station was originally installed by the Arctic Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) (ecosystems.mbl.edu/arc) and Toolik Field Station (TFS) assumed control of the station in 2007. The field station is an ideal location for maintaining long-term weather data, as it is located in a data sparse region and adds a data point along the north-south transect of the North Slope of Alaska, following along the Dalton Highway. There is year round access and a long-term pre-existing dataset. These advantages make it possible to provide quality data - an often difficult achievement in remote northern latitudes in Alaska.自1988年6月起，科研团队便在图利克野外站（Toolik Field Station，地理坐标：北纬68°38′，西经149°36′）启动气象数据采集工作。该气象站点最初由北极长期生态研究（Arctic Long Term Ecological Research，LTER，网址：ecosystems.mbl.edu/arc）架设，图利克野外站（Toolik Field Station，简称TFS）于2007年接管该站点的运维工作。 该野外站的区位条件十分适合开展长期气象数据留存工作：其所处区域属于气象数据稀缺地带，且沿道尔顿公路（Dalton Highway）布设，填补了阿拉斯加北坡南北样带的观测空白。该站点全年可通行，且拥有长期积累的历史数据集。这些优势为获取高质量气象数据提供了可靠保障——而在阿拉斯加北部高纬度的偏远区域，获取优质观测数据往往难度极大。
