Microclimate data from Mars Oasis, 2000-2019

Microclimate data collected hourly at Mars Oasis, for 13 climatic variables via automatic data loggers, from 2000-2019. Data is not available across the entire temporal range for all variables. NERC funded under the British Antarctic Survey National Capability programme, Polar Science for Planet Earth.

Statement: Missing values are included where data was not recorded, or where values indicating malfunctioning equipment have been removed. No extensive quality control or verification has been undertaken.

Due to the harsh conditions in Mars Oasis, data has not been recorded continually across the period. The mast was knocked over in May 2002 leading to the loss of data. The logger was restarted in November 2002. The exact locations of sensors within the soil does change over time due to environmental conditions, so depths recorded are a guide.
