Meteorological and Radio Brightness Observations of Thawing Permafrost Near
Toolik Lake, Alaska, 2004
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS173

Summary
This data set includes meteorological and radio brightness observations of
tundra and shrub terrain on the North Slope of Alaska, USA near Toolik Lake.
These data are nearly continuous from 8 May through 2 July 2004; the ground
surface ranged from snow-covered frozen ground to approximately 25 cm thaw
depth. The meteorological observations include air and soil temperatures, soil
moisture, wind speed and direction, net radiation, and soil heat flux. Radio
brightness observations are dual polarized at 6.7 GHz, 19 GHz, and 37 GHz.
Data are in Microsoft Excel 2003 workbooks.
