Daily soil temperature data collected at a manual chamber site in Council, Alaska, operated by Dr. Yongwon Kim of UAF. The data covers the period from September 19, 2019 to December 14, 2020 and includes measurements at depths of 2, 5, 10, and 20 centimeters. It was recovered in September 2021.
Use Cases
- Model soil CO2 efflux based on temperature measurements at multiple depths.
- Analyze seasonal and diurnal soil temperature variations in an Alaskan ecosystem.
- Validate or calibrate remote sensing or model-derived soil temperature estimates.
- Study the relationship between soil temperature and moisture for regulating carbon fluxes.
Strengths
- Data includes measurements at four specific depths: 2, 5, 10, and 20 cm.
- Temporal coverage spans over a year, from September 2019 to December 2020.
- Data is associated with a specific research site and investigator (Dr. Yongwon Kim, UAF).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 2020-12-14; freshness should be verified.
