Iceberg Firn Temperatures, Antarctica

Abstract: Since November of 2005, 12 thermistors were planted in the upper 2.5 meters of the firn on iceberg C16, Antarctica. Temperature data are collected every 20 minutes and are transmitted via ARGOS satellite relay. Data are intended to provide a view of how firn temperatures change as an iceberg moves north into warmer climate.

摘要：自2005年11月起，科研人员在南极C16冰山的粒雪（firn）层上部2.5米范围内布设了12个热敏电阻（thermistor）。该数据集每20分钟采集一次温度数据，并通过ARGOS卫星中继传输。本数据集旨在揭示冰山向北迁移进入暖气候区时粒雪温度的变化规律。
