Dataset specification

  • Title: GeoBasis Disko - Soil - T1-SoilTemperature
  • Description: T1-Soil temperature consist of temperature sensors installed in a soil pit. The sensors were installed in August 2018 . The soil pit is located on the top of Pjeturssons moraine ridge (125 meter above sea level) on a surface covered by low dwarf shrub vegetation. The time stamp refer to West Greenland Standard Time (UTC-3). A major gap from 17 September 2019 to 4 July 2020 is due to a battery failure. Data are logged by 1 hour intervals. Soil surface temperature and air temperature in 2 m are measured at the same site under Meteorology (T1_Temperature_125m). Soil:Soil GeoBasis Disko: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:
