Soil Temperature measurements were taken on a 30 plot subset within the ARCSS grid in Barrow, Alaska throughout the 2011 field season. The SEL Lab's Taylor Temperature Probe was used to take measurements at about a 10 cm depth at each plot. The dataset was last updated on July 25, 2011.
Use Cases
- Model soil thermal regimes based on field measurements at a 10 cm depth.
- Analyze spatial temperature variation across a 30 plot subset within the ARCSS grid.
- Study seasonal soil temperature changes throughout the 2011 field season.
- Validate remote sensing or climate model outputs with ground-based temperature probe data.
Strengths
- Measurements were taken at a consistent 10 cm depth using a Taylor Temperature Probe.
- Data covers a specific 30 plot subset within a defined grid (D2-D7 and H2-H7).
- Temporal coverage is explicitly stated as the 2011 field season.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2011-07-25; freshness should be verified.
