The dataset contains depth-resolved soil temperature measured at 45 discrete locations in a watershed located along the Nome-Teller road at Mile 27 in Seward Peninsula, Alaska. The dataset was generated to understand the local heterogeneity of soil thermal dynamics and their controls in a discontinuous permafrost region. At each location, temperatures were measured by a distributed temperature profiling probe designed based on Dafflon et al (2022). The dataset includes a description of the probe locations in the "Probe_locations.csv" file and the 45 data files (Soil_temperatures_*.csv). Metadata files include data descriptions (_dd.csv) for tabular data. All included files are listed and described in NGA513_flmd.csv.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research.The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).
