Meteorological, Radiation, Soil, and Snow Data from Alaska Sites, 1998-2008
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS901

Summary
This data set contains meteorological, radiation, soil, and snow data from
sites in Ivotuk and the Seward Peninsula in Alaska. The goal of the project is
to improve the understanding of the role that soil moisture and surface
temperature play in affecting the surface energy balance, sub-surface thermal
dynamics, and vegetation distribution. Measurements were taken as part of the
Land-Atmosphere-Ice Interactions - Arctic Transitions in the Land-Atmosphere
System (LAII-ATLAS) program. The research project was funded by the Arctic
System Sciences (ARCSS) Program, grant number OPP-9818066.
