A high resolution record of temperature in a tidepool at Rothera Point Antarctica, from Feb 1999 to May 2000.

Temperature data were collected from a tidepool at Rothera Point, Antarctica every two minutes from February 1999 to May 2000, with the aim of documenting tidal, diurnal and seasonal variability.

Statement: Immediately after download, the daily mean, minimum and maximum temperatures were calculated and stored as a separate data set. When the data were reanalysed (in 2019) these statistics were recalculated from the raw (2-minute average) data; the statistics were identical to those calculated after download. In 2019 two blocks of raw data were found to be unreadable and unrecoverable, and so only the daily statistics calculated after download are available. Data missing from 1999-06-20 to 1999-06-29 (battery failure)

For two periods, 1999-03-01 to 1999-03-19 and 1999-06-01 to 1999-06-19, only daily summary statistics available
