Active Layer NIMS Barrow, Alaska 2015

Active Layer measurements were taken at each Networked Info-Mechanical System (NIMS) grid plot in Barrow, Alaska throughout the 2015 summer field season. University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP) SEL's Circumarctic Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) depth probe was used to take measurements. Depth was measured on the probe as the distance from frozen active layer to the top surface of the vegetation. If water was present then it was measured to the top of the biomass.
