Air and Soil Temperatures from Sites in Alaska 1995-2001
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS907

Summary
This data set consists of air and soil temperatures from various sites in
Alaska between 1995 and 2001. Data loggers recorded soil temperatures at 1 cm
below the ground or snow surface, and air temperatures at 1.6 m above the
surface. Temperatures are given in degrees Celcius. Data collection sites
around the state include: Toolik Lake, Galbraith, Happy Valley, Prudhoe Bay,
Council, Livengood, Yukon River, Barrow, Gold Creek, Kanuti River, Fairbanks,
Chandalar, and Graylink Lake. The data consist of 53 space-delimited ASCII
text files, and are available via ftp. Each data file contains date, time, and
temperature columns, and some files contain additional data. A table in the
documentation for this data set lists each data file and its contents. The
research project was funded by the Arctic System Sciences (ARCSS) Program,
grant number OPP-9321730.
