Air temperature at the summit of Mont Jacques-Cartier (Gaspé peninsula) 2012-2015

The available dataset is the unique continuous measurement of the air temperature on the summit of Mont Jacques-Cartier (1263 m a.s.l.). This summit represents the highest peak of the Chic-Chocs Mountains in the Gaspé Peninsula. This unique site is characterised by typical periglacial landforms (e.g. sorted polygons, sorted stripes, blockfield), by a marginal alpine permafrost body and by a alpine tundra vegetation cover (Gray et al., 2017). Air temperature data are recorded every hour by a U22-001 datalogger (Hobo®; resolution of 0.2°C, accuracy of +/- 0.21°C), which is installed 1 m above the ground surface (GPS: 48°59,268 N; 65°56,937 W). The dataset covers the period 1/12/2012-23/09/2015. The data will be updated after each field trip. Gray JT, Davesne G, Godin E, Fortier D. 2017.

本数据集收录了位于蒙雅克·卡蒂耶峰（海拔1263米）的空气温度连续测量数据，该峰为加斯佩半岛奇奇科山脉的最高峰。这一独特地点以其典型的冰缘地貌（例如，有序的多边形、有序的条纹、块状地）为特征，拥有边缘性高山永久冻土体，以及高山苔原植被覆盖（Gray et al., 2017）。空气温度数据由U22-001数据记录仪（Hobo®；分辨率为0.2°C，准确度为±0.21°C）每小时记录一次，该记录仪安装在地面以上1米处（GPS：48°59,268 N；65°56,937 W）。数据集覆盖了2012年12月1日至2015年9月23日的时期。每次野外考察后，数据将进行更新。Gray JT, Davesne G, Godin E, Fortier D. 2017. 加拿大魁北克省加斯佩半岛蒙雅克·卡蒂耶峰山顶的高山永久冻土热状态：37年波动记录显示总体变暖趋势，Permafrost Periglacial Processes，28，266-274.
