Soil Temperature Station Data from Permafrost Regions of Russia 1880s - 2000

This data set is a collection of monthly soil temperatures measured at boreholes in Russian permafrost regions. Data were recovered from many sources. Soil temperatures were measured at depths of 0.02 to 3.2 m using bent stem thermometers, extraction thermometers, and electrical resistance thermistors. Data coverage extends from the 1800s through 2000, but is not continuous. Data are not available for all stations for the entire period of coverage. For example, data collection began at many stations in the 1930s and 1950s, and not all stations continued taking measurements through 2000. This research was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP) awards, OPP-9614557, OPP-9907541, and OPP-0229766. Data are available as ASCII text files.

本数据集汇集了从多种渠道获取的俄罗斯永久冻土区域钻孔处逐月土壤温度观测数据。土壤温度的测量深度范围为0.02米至3.2米，所用观测仪器包括弯杆温度计、抽取式温度计以及电阻热敏电阻。数据的时间覆盖跨度为19世纪至2000年，但并非连续完整；并非所有监测站在整个覆盖时段内均保有有效观测数据。例如，多数监测站的观测工作始于20世纪30年代与50年代，且并非所有站点均持续开展测量直至2000年。本研究由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）极地项目办公室（Office of Polar Programs, OPP）资助，资助编号分别为OPP-9614557、OPP-9907541及OPP-0229766。数据集以ASCII文本文件格式提供。
