Soil moisture from a 50+ meter transect and from 21 random points in a wet sedge meadow near Thule Air Base, Greenland. Plots consist of a collar for flux measurements 6" in diameter but moisture measurements were taken outside the plot to minimize disturbance. The transect spans a gradient from wet tundra to drier polar semi-desert.Campbell Scientific Hydrosense II with 12 cm probes. Data collected ca. every other day between DOY 168 and DOY 222. Along the transect measurements were made every five meters. Three reps per plot or position on the transect. MS Excel (.xls) with two worksheets, one for the plots, the other for the transect. Data columns in both are: day of year, plot, rep, volumetric water content (%), time period of reflectance - raw data from the instrument.
