Meteorology, Vegetation, Radiation, Microtopography, and Thaw Depth Data,
Alaska, 1995-1996
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS012

Summary
This dataset includes temperature, relative humidity, long- and short-wave
radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), leaf area index (LAI),
microtopography, and thaw depth data for study sites on the North Slope of
Alaska. Meteorological parameters were measured at 20-second intervals and
averaged to 6-minute records in a data logger. Data were later averaged to one
hour. Radiation data were recorded every hour. Microtopography and thaw depths
were measured by Terry Chapins group from the University of California at
Berkeley. Resolution of height contours is 0.3048 cm (1/100 of a foot). Thaw
depths are given in meters.
