Barrow Urban Heat Island Air Temperatures (ASCII) [Hinkel, K., and F. E.
Nelson]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/46.818

Summary
This dataset contains air temperature data taken from 54 stations near Barrow,
Alaska to monitor the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Data is contained within
two comma delimited ASCII text files, one of daily average air temperatures
and the other of daily air temperature ranges. Both the averages and ranges
were calculated from 24 hourly readings.
