Runoff, Snow, Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, and Water Level Measurements
from BEO
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.329

Summary
This data set includes data from the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) as
part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biocomplexity Program. This
involved increasing and decreasing the water table over large areas of tundra
and observing the effects over the diverse microtopography of the region. It
also includes measurements from the drained section (BEC) and flooded section
(BEN) of Cake Eater Lake. The following dataset contains five ZIP files
collected from runoff, snow, soil moisture, soil temperature, and water level
measurements. The individual descriptions of each ZIP file are located in the
readme file.
