Summary
Abstract: This data set contains soil temperature, soil moisture, thaw depth,
and snow depth data collected at test sites near Barrow, Alaska,
during the following years:

Soil temperature data - 1963-1966, 1993
Soil moisture data - 1963
Thaw depth - 1962-1968, 1991-1993
Snow depth - 1963-1964.

This study focused on characterizing the active soil layer at Barrow,
and determining the relationships between and among these physical
properties at permafrost sites in the Arctic.
