Dataset specification

• Title: GeoBasis Zackenberg - Meteorology - T1_Air_temperature_0m
• Description: Air temperature is measured in 0 cm near the old trapping station 'Blæsenborg', in the area 'Morænebakkerne' Northwest of the Zackenberg station. The soil temperature sensors were installed in 1995. Initially the temperature was recorded every fifth hour until 1996 where the logging interval was changed to very second hour, from 2003 the temperature has been recorded every hour. Measurements were ended in 2009. Blank cells are missing data. Meteorology:Meteorology GeoBasis Zackenberg:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and research projects (e.g. the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) programme, the Nordic Centre of Excellence DEFROST, the Danish Centre of Excellence CENPERM, the EU-projects PAGE21 and INTERACT, and the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University). The GeoBasis programme is divided into a number of sub-groups, including:
