Alaska Soils Temperature Daily Database 2024

This database contains mean daily temperatures for sites associated with the Alaska Thermokarst Monitoring network. The data are from projects that we have conducted, as well as data compiled from some other project and publicly available data. The temperature data focus mainly on surface and deep (mainly ~ 1 meter [m], usually below the active layer) soils. This database is continually updated and currently includes only a portion of the soil temperature monitoring sites. The Access Database has 4 main data tables (tbl_) that include the MaintLog (maintenance log), Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) Summary (listing of gapfilling methods and quality), Sites (site environmental characteristics) and Soil_Temperatures_Daily (mean daily temperatures). Environmental characteristics in the Site table can be used for analyzing environmental effects on soil temperatures. Tables were exported to csv format for archiving.
