[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Data set contains data from two snow stations installed in Antarctica Dronning Maud Land during FINNARP 2009 expedition. The snow stations measure temperature of the snow pack from the snow surface to depth of four meters. Both snow stations have 15 thermistors.
