Abstract:
This data set includes soil temperature data from boreholes located at five
stations in Russia: Yakutsk, Verkhoyansk, Pokrovsk, Isit', and Churapcha. The
data have been compiled into five Microsoft Excel files, one for each station.
Each Excel file contains three worksheets:
- G02189info worksheet: Contains the same content
in each Excel file - lat/lon info and notes on the stations
- Jan soil & surface temp worksheet: Contains
winter (January) soil temperature and air temperature (except for the
Churapcha Excel file that only contains soil temperature - air temperature was
not available)
- Jul soil & surface temp
worksheet: Contains summer (July) soil temperature and air temperature (except
for the Churapcha Excel file)
There are two different versions of the Excel files: a complete version and a
subsetted version. Both versions exist for each of the five stations for a
total of 10 files. The complete versions of the files reside in the directory
called complete and have the word full in their filename.
These files contain borehole temperature data at all available standard
depths: 0.2 m, 0.4 m, 0.6 m, 0.8 m, 1.2 m, 1.6 m, 2.0 m, 2.4 m, and 3.2 m. The
subsetted versions of the files reside in the subset directory and
have subset in their filename. These files contain data from the 0.8
m and 3.2 m depths only. Missing data are indicated by the value
-999.0. The complete version is more applicable to scientific
investigation. The subset version is provided for K-12 teachers and is
featured in a classroom activity called "How
Permanent is Permafrost?"
We have included air temperature measured at these five stations when it is
available. There are two sources for the surface air temperature data: NCAR World Monthly Surface
Station Climatology, 1738-cont and NOAA Global Historical Climatology
Network (GHCN) Monthly data set. These two sources both draw on the same
single original source: data from the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) station network. The complete files have data from one
or both sources, while the subset files only include data from the source with
the most complete record.
These data are being offered as is. NOAA@NSIDC believes these data to be of
value but is unable to research and document these data as we do most data
sets we publish.
