Summary
Abstract: Instruments at Mawson and Macquarie Is record the radon concentration in air at half hourly intervals. The data sets are continuous apart from calibrations and maintenance, since 1998 at Macquarie Is and 1999 at Mawson.

As well as the radon record, the raw data sets contain records of essential instrument parameters from which the reliability of the data can be assessed.
