Lake Sediment Thermal Properties for Emaiksoun Lake (Barrow, Alaska)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.297

Summary
Lake sediment thermal property measurements were made on Emaiksoun Lake (also
known as "Freshwater Lake"). This lake is located on the south end of town in
Barrow, Alaska. The measurements were made using a KD-2 Pro Thermal Properties
Analyzer. Parameters measured include: 1) thermal conductivity, 2) thermal
resistivity, 3)specific heat, 4) thermal diffusivity, 5) r-squared (goodness
of fit), and 6) sediment temperature. Measurements in water depths of 0.5 and
1.0 meter were made by a person standing in the water, using a PVC extension
rod. A boat was used to reach lake sediments in water depths of 1.5 meters or
greater. Slight boat movements during the time of measurement had an impact on
data accuracy, although any data points that were obviously unreliable were
thrown out and are not included in this dataset. All data that have been saved
have r-squared values of at least 0.96. Measurement time by the KD-2 Pro
typically takes a few minutes.
