Compilation of ice temperature measurements at 10 m depth from international traverses 1957-1996.

Temperature mesaurements from 10-meter depth in drill holes, dating back prior to 1956 and the International Geophysical Year, including measurements from several major recent surveys. Data cover the entire continental ice sheet and several ice shelves, but coverage density is generally low. For more information, please see the notes available for each 10-meter data set, and the list of related publications. The deeper drill-hole temperature data collection also covers a large portion of the ice sheet. The time frame covered by this collection is 1949-1979.
