Data from Abisko Scientific Research Station
At Abisko Scientific Research Station, environmental measurements have been conducted since 1913. Data are also continuously collected in the surrounding environment, including at our field huts. Below, you can access our open data via links to databases or via the specified contact address.
At the Abisko Scientific Research Station, several meteorological measurement series are longer than a hundred years. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has designated our observatory as a Centennial Observing Station. It is now part of a worldwide network of meteorological measuring stations with long qualitative measurement data.

Abisko automatic station (SMHI no: 188790)
Meteorological data from Abisko's automatic measuring station for the years 1985-1996 and 2018 - ongoing. Data is stored in SMHI's system and available through their open data portal. Parameters: air temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and air pressure.
Data from the period 1996-2018 as well as more parameters (sun time, solar radiation, PAR, and soil temperatures) are available via ANS-data@polar.se.
Abisko manual station (SMHI no: 188800)
The manual observations started in 1913. Air temperature, precipitation and snow depth are digitized and available via SMHI's open data portal. The work with digitization continues and more parameters will be published continuously. For questions and access to data, contact ANS-data@polar.se.
