GeoBasis Nuuk - Soil Properties - SoilVUE Heath SoilTemperature

The SoilVUE sensor is connected to the InteractHeath station. The station is placed in the heath (26 m.a.s.l.) close to the EddyHeath station (Flux Monitoring). The SoilVUE sensor was installed in October 2023 and measures soil temperature (see SoilVUE Heath SoilTemperature) and soil moisture (see SoilVUE Heath SoilMoisture) in 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5 cm depth. Other data sets from the InteractHeath station can be found under Meteorology (air temperature, relative humidity, radiation, wind), Soil Properties (water fraction, soil temperatures) and Snow Properties (snow temperatures, snow depht). All data is logged every 30 minutes (UTC-3 West Greenlandic Winter Time, CR1000 logger). Soil Properties:Soil Properties GeoBasis Nuuk:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and research projects (e.g. the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) programme, the Nordic Centre of Excellence DEFROST, the Danish Centre of Excellence CENPERM, the EU-projects PAGE21 and INTERACT, and the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University). The GeoBasis programme is divided into a number of sub-groups, including:
