This paper presents a quality-controlled meteorological dataset from six automatic weather stations spanning almost 5,000 m of elevation in the Mount Everest region, from 3,810 to 8,810 m above sea level. The installation and maintenance required to gather this data presents and exceptional effort. These rare observations from some of the highest elevations on Earth provide a valuable resource for investigating high-altitude climate and weather, evaluating atmospheric models and reanalyses, and improving our understanding of the Himalayan climate system.
