Yukon Ground And Air Temperature Sensor Measurements

Temperature sensor point data originates from investigations by government agencies, engineers, and academics to characterize site thermal conditions. Measurements include ground temperatures at various depths and above-ground weather station data, recorded at intervals from hourly to daily over periods ranging from one-time to multi-year monitoring. The dataset is distributed by the Government of Yukon via the GeoYukon platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between above-ground weather station data and subsurface ground temperature measurements to model thermal regimes.
• Model ground thermal conditions using time series temperature data recorded at various depth intervals.
• Identify seasonal or long-term trends in the ground thermal regime from multi-year monitoring records.

Strengths

• Data originates from authoritative investigations performed by government agencies and geotechnical engineers.
• Includes measurements from both subsurface temperature sensors and above-ground weather stations, providing a multi-source perspective.

Limitations

• Specific temporal coverage, sample size, and measurement frequency are unknown from the provided description.
• Data is provided in ESRI REST and HTML formats, which may require specialized GIS tools for full analysis.
