Hourly Surface Temperature Data from Hobo Probes in Tasiapik Valley, Nunavik

Hourly surface temperature data recorded by Onset HOBO Pro v2 sensors buried a few centimeters below ground. The data originates from the Tasiapik Valley near Umiujaq in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada, with temperatures provided in degrees Celsius. The dataset was authored by Richard Fortier and is hosted on the Borealis Harvested Dataverse platform.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil thermal dynamics based on hourly temperature readings.
• Analyzing diurnal and seasonal temperature variations in a sub-Arctic valley.
• Calibrating remote sensing or climate models with in-situ ground temperature measurements.
• Studying the impact of climate change on near-surface permafrost stability.

Strengths

• Data is collected at an hourly resolution, providing fine temporal granularity.
• Sensors are described as Onset HOBO Pro v2, suggesting a specific, known measurement device.
• The geographic location (Tasiapik Valley, Nunavik, Quebec) is precisely defined.

Limitations

• The number of sensors, exact deployment depth, and total row count are unknown.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description lacks information on data quality control, gaps, or potential sensor errors.
