SoilFen Meteorology 30min

SoilFen is one of the three automatic soil stations in Kobbefjord. Data from the station is found under Meteorology (air temperature, relative humidity and PAR) and Soil Properties (soilwater chemistry, soil temperatures, soil heat flux). The station was established in 2007 and is placed in the moist fen 40 m.a.s.l. close to the InteractFen (Meteorology, Soil Properties, Snow Properties), the EddyFen and the Methane station (Fluxmonitoring). The data is logged every five minutes (UTC-3 West Greenlandic Winter Time, CR1000 logger). Since datadelivery per 01-01-2025 data is delivered as 30 min averages of the 5 min timeseries, contact the program manager for the 5 min timeseries. The meteorological dataset from this station consists of air temperature and relative humidity (2007-2017: Vaisala, HMP45AC, 2017-: Campbell, CS215) measured in radiation shield two m. above ground, until 2017 PAR and sunshine hours (Delta-T, BF2). Until 2016, PAR was also measured 20 cm above ground (SoilFen Meteorology 1min), logged every minute. Data comments: In spring 2017 a fox destroyed some of the cables for the station. The air temperature/relative humidity sensor was changed from HMP45AC to CS215 in 2017. After this a shift in relative humidity is seen.
