Climate Data from Barrow and Atqasuk, Alaska, 1995-2001
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS908

Summary
This data set presents various climate data from sites in Barrow and Atquasuk,
on the Northern Slope of Alaska. Parameters include thaw depth, air
temperature, precipitation, wind speed, light intensity, plant canopy
temperature, soil temperature, soil moisture, soil salinity, and relative
humidity. Data were collected between June 1995 and August 2001 by various
sensors connected to data loggers. Air and soil temperatures are given in
degrees Celsius and wind speed is measured in meters per second. All other
parameter measurements are detailed in the documentation. The research project
was funded by the Arctic System Sciences (ARCSS) Program, grant number OPP
9714103.
