This data set contains temperature-depth profile measurements taken in 22 boreholes drilled on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which exhibit two distinctly different thermal states of basal ice: a warm state and a relatively colder state. The data are available in ASCII Text Format (.txt) and Portable Document Format (PDF) via FTP.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://doi.org/10.7265/N5PN93J8DocumentationGET DATAhttp://www.usap-dc.org/view/dataset/609537Get External DataCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92013-06-132023-05-23NSIDCVersion SummaryNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCFull Dataset CitationEngelhardt, H. 2013. <i>Temperature of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.</i> [indicate subset used].
