Active Layer Soil Temperature, Soil Moisture, and Electrical Conductivity from Water Tracks in the McMurdo Dry Valleys

This dataset consists of surface and subsurface records of soil temperature, soil moisture, and soil electrical conductivity from Taylor, Wright, and Beacon Valleys. Soil measurements were made on the surface (0 cm depth), and at 10 cm increments down to 30 cm depth on seasonally wetted water tracks and in adjacent, dry inter-track soils. Measurements were made at a rapid summer cadence (2 minutes) and an hourly winter cadence. Measurements run from 2022-12-18 to 2025-01-19.
