Entry ID

ARCSS037

Summary

This data set contains snow depth measurements (cm) taken at the ARCSS 1-m grid near Barrow, Alaska, on May 8, 1994. A grid spacing of 100 m was marked with wooden stakes. Snow pack depth was then measured by probing at the stakes prior to meltout. The grid yielded an 11x11 array with 121 data points.

Note to users: This data set previously contained soil temperature data from Happy Valley and Barrow, Alaska. For information on soil temperatures, click the link under See Also (Soil Temperatures for Happy Valley and Barrow, Alaska).
