Short summary

We present field measurements collected during the Finnish Antarctic Research Program (FINNARP) 2022 expedition at Aboa station in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Weekly observations were taken at the automatic weather station site and at selected overpass locations of two satellites. The dataset includes continuous meteorological records, snow pit profiles, ground- and drone-based radiation measurements, and snow surface roughness from laser scans.
