Summer 2019 measurements of soil temperature profiles and CO2 concentrations at a permafrost site in Council, Alaska. The dataset was collected by AMD_KOPRI to monitor emissions and thermal changes in permafrost regions. Data collection concluded in September 2019.
Use Cases
- Analyze diurnal and seasonal trends in soil temperature profiles to model permafrost thermal state.
- Correlate measured CO2 concentrations with soil temperature data to estimate emission rates.
- Use the geospatial and temporal data as a validation point for regional climate or carbon cycle models.
Strengths
- Data provides concurrent measurements of CO2 and soil temperature, enabling direct correlation analysis.
- Temporal coverage is precisely defined for the summer season of 2019.
Limitations
- Dataset is limited to a single site (Council, Alaska) and one season, reducing generalizability.
- The total number of measurement points or rows is unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
Provenance
- Source
- AMD_KOPRI via NASA Earthdata.
- Collection Method
- Field measurements taken during summertime.
- Time Range
- Summer 2019.
- Freshness
- null
- Geography
- Council, Alaska, USA.
