Seasonal soil moisture measurements from a Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) grid, Barrow, Alaska, 2016

Seasonal soil moisture measurements were collected during the 2016 growing season at each Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) grid meter in Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska. At each meter one soil moisture measurement was acquired, the date, start and end times, and the people present were also recorded. Soil moisture measurements were taken on the north side of the grid in order to reduce disturbance of vegetation. These measurements are part of the Arctic Observing Network (AON) - International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) initiative and help to document seasonal changes in surface moisture and structure at high spatial scales.

2016年生长季期间，研究团队在阿拉斯加州乌特恰维克（原称巴罗）的各移动仪器系统平台（Mobile Instrumented System Platform, MISP）网格测点处采集了季节性土壤湿度数据。每个测点均开展一次土壤湿度观测，同时记录了观测日期、观测起止时间以及在场人员信息。为降低对植被的干扰，土壤湿度观测均布置在网格北侧区域。本数据集隶属于北极观测网（Arctic Observing Network, AON）-国际苔原试验（International Tundra Experiment, ITEX）计划，有助于记录高空间尺度下地表湿度与地表结构的季节变化特征。
