Seasonal soil active layer measurements from a Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) grid, (U9B) 'Happy Valley 1km Grid', Alaska, 1995-2020

This site is registered with the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) program. It is one among a network of sites that represent a coordinated effort to standardize the collection and access to thaw measurements in representative undisturbed permafrost landscapes. This dataset contains long-term spatial thaw depth observations using mechanical probing on dates indicated by file column headers. To ensure relative consistency within the record, end-of-season measurement dates are within the same Julian calendar week during the height of the thaw season (mid-August to mid-September). It is important to note that the date of maximum annual thaw, interpreted as the active layer thickness, can vary from year to year and between sites.

本站点已注册于环极地活动层监测（Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring, CALM）计划。其隶属于该计划的协作网络站点集群，该网络旨在统一典型未受干扰多年冻土景观中解冻观测数据的采集流程与数据获取标准。本数据集包含基于机械探杆法获取的长期空间解冻深度观测数据，观测日期详见文件列标题。为保障观测记录的相对一致性，季末测量日期均集中于解冻高峰期（8月中旬至9月中旬）的同一儒略历周内。需要特别说明的是，作为活动层厚度表征指标的年度最大解冻日期，会因年份与站点不同而存在差异。
