Here, meteorological observations have been carried out regularly since the first glaciological field campaign to the Tarfala Valley in May 1946, already before TRS was inaugurated in 1961. These data provide important climatological information in itself and also give context for a wide range of other climate system components in the Tarfala Valley, such as glaciers, streams, permafrost, etc., and their dynamic change over time.\r\n\r\nUp until 1965, air temperature measurements were made manually, and only during the summer season. Thus, for the years 1946\u200a\u2013\u200a1964, monthly mean air temperatures are reported only for June, July and August. From 1965 to 1987, automated data collection was carried out during all months of the year. In 1987 the first digital logger based automatic weather station (AWS) was established and operated until 2013 when it was replaced by a more modern equivalent (referred to as TRS-AWS). The dataset presented here is compiled from some previously published separate datasets containing data until 2022, updated with data from 2023, and combined into a single record.","url":"http:\/\/bolin.su.se\/data\/tarfala-monthly-temperature-1","keywords":["Atmosphere","Temperature","Air temperature","Tarfala","Kebnekaise","Weather","Arctic","Alpine","Monthly data","Earth science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric temperature > Surface temperature > Air temperature"],"creator":{"@type":"Person","name":"Tarfala Research Station staff"},"citation":"Grudd, H., & Schneider, T.
