Abstract

Manual measurements of soil moisture, temperature, and thaw depth were collected in the footprint of the NGEE Arctic Tram starting 2014-07-20 and continuing through 2015-07-16. There were 10 periodic sampling events. These measurements were collected under the Tram observational platform. Probes were inserted into ground beneath the track closest to Tram sensors measurement locations at each Tram measurement position (Position # marked on the tracks). A MiniTrase Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) instrument was used to measure volumetric water content (VWC; units = m3/m3). Soil temperature was measured with a thermocouple probe. Depth of thawed soil was measured from the top of the moss layer or top of soil.

Dataset Torn, Margaret ; Chafe, Oriana ; Curtis, Bryan ; ...

Soil chamber flux measurements made from a 2014-2017 adjacent to the TRAM system, with measurements referenced to TRAM stop numbers. Dataset includes measurements using transparent and opaque chambers (CO2 and CH4 fluxes in light and dark). TRAM related information and datasets https://doi.org/10.5440/1558782.
NGEE Arctic Tram: Continuous Soil Moisture and Temperature Measurements across Low- and High-Centered Polygonal Ground, Barrow, Alaska, 2014-2016

Dataset Dafflon, Baptiste ; Torn, Margaret

This data set reports the continuous soil moisture and temperature measurements collected from August of 2014 to September of 2016 along the footprint of the NGEE Arctic Tram. Soil moisture and temperature sensors are installed adjacent to the Tram at 8 locations of varying land surface types across the low-centered and high-centered polygonal ground. While the Tram operates seasonally these soil measurements are recorded year around. Data for the remainder of 2016 and 2017 will be added when available.

Dataset Torn, Margaret ; Dafflon, Baptiste ; Dengel, Sigrid ; ...

The NGEE-Arctic Tram operated from 2014 - 2018. It was installed on the Barrow Environmental Observatory in Barrow, Alaska in late May of 2014 and operated through mid-November 2014. The subsequent 2015 through 2018 years followed a similar schedule, but with different deployment dates and data gaps, with the goal always to capture the surface dynamics of the snow melt, growing, and freeze-up seasons. This Tram overview dataset has three objectives: (1) provide new data users with a brief description of the Tram system and its research purposes; (2) provide generally useful Tram site characterization details, including measurement position groundmore »« less
