Alaska Soil Climate Research Stations

dataset
posted on 2023-11-30, 08:29 authored by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service

Stations in Alaska were installed to study the effects of climate change detected in the seasonal thaw characteristics and active-layer depths of permafrost soils. Nine stations on the North Slope of Alaska primarily focus on monitoring soil temperature and soil moisture. Each station measures atmospheric parameters and soil parameters (moisture and temperature). Stations: Atqasuk, Barrow (Sites 1 and 2), Betty Pingo, Sagwagon (Sites 1 and 2), Toolik, Westdock (High and Low). Information and data presented for each station cover Personnel; Description of Station, Data, and Soils; Graphic Display of Data (HTML); Download Data (daily averages) by Year, (Excel).
