InteractFen SoilProperties

InteractFen (I5Nf) is one of two automatic energy balance stations in Kobbefjord that was setup in 2011. Data from the station is found under Meteorology (air temperature, relative humidity, radiation, wind, air pressure), Soil Properties (water fraction, ground water level, soil temperatures, electrical conductivity) and Snow Properties (snow temperatures, snow depht). The station is placed in the fen (40 m.a.s.l.) close to the SoilFen (Meteorology, Soil Properties), EddyFen and Methane stations (Flux Monitoring). The SoilProperties dataset from the station consists of soil temperatures (thermocouples, 107T), soil water fraction (SM300) and water table depth (Druck, PDCR 1830). All data is logged every 30 minutes (West Greenlandic Winter Time, CR1000). Data comments: The station has suffered from power problems from 2015-2020 causing data gaps in autumn/winter. In June 2018 air temperature, relative humidity and wind sensors were added to the station setup. In 2020-2022 power problems caused data gaps. The station is part of a network of similar energy balance stations. In Kobbefjord a comparable station is placed at the heath (I6Nh).
