Understanding Summertime Marine Fog Variability in King George Island, Antarctica using Special Upper-air Observations and Cloud-Resolving Simulations
Abstract
Dataset description summary: the dataset presented here contains sounding measurements collected at King George Island, Antarctica (58.96°W, 62.20°S) during the Colombian scientific expedition to Antarctica, 2020 and 2022 campaigns using a Vaisala DigiCORA MW41 Sounding System. The observations were carried out between 20th January and 25th January 2020, and 14th February and 6th March 2022, launching twice-daily soundings (00 UTC and 12 UTC)during regular days, and 4 soundings per day (00 UTC, 06 UTC, 12 UTC and 18 UTC) during Intensive Observing Periods (IOPs), for a total of 53 soundings.
