In-situ tempetatures in the top 20 m of firn near the summit of Blåskimen Island, Western Dronning Maud Land

This dataset contains a depth profile of temperature in top 20 m of firn near the summit of Blåskimen Island, Western Dronning Maud Land. The measurements were made using a thermistor string installed into a borehole. The thermistor was left for ~25 hours in the borehole. The data are provided in MATLAB (.mat) file format named ‘IRD_borehole_temp_dat.mat’ with following arrays- <br>
• ‘depth’ array with depth data in meters <br>
• ‘time’ array with time data in minutes <br>
• ‘temp’ matrix with each column containing temperature measurements with depth at a given time in degree Celsius.
