| Abstract: |
Soil temperature data from the Toolik Moist Non-acidic Tussock Experimental plots (MNT). In 1999 a Campbell CR10x data logger was installed in block 2 of the experimental plots. The plots are located on a hillside near Toolik Lake (68 38' N, 149 36'W). Sensors were placed in control, fertilized, greenhouse and greenhouse fertilized sites. |

| Methods: |
A Campbell CR10x data logger, in the LTER Toolik Moist Non-acidic Tussock Experimental plots (block 2), is used to monitor weather and soil temperatures.
Sensors in the control and greenhouses plots include: air temperature and relative humidity. These sensors are read every minute and averaged or totaled every hour.
Two profiles of soil temperature are measured per treatment plot with copper/constantan thermocouple wires (TC) installed at depths of 0,10, 20, and 40 cm in inter-tussock areas. The following label codes are used: CT = control, GH = greenhouses, NP = fertilized, GHF= greenhouse fertilized, plus a 1 or a 2 for the profile number. All soil sensors are read every 15 minutes and averaged every 3 hours.
Hourly, three hourly and daily summaries are in files yyDLMNTH.DAT, yyDLMNTO.DAT, and yDLMNTD.DAT respectively, where yy is the year in which the data are collected. The original data are in file yyDLMNTDAT.ZIP which is archived at The Marine Biological Lab, Woods Hole, MA.
Note: The covers on greenhouses are removed every fall and reinstalled every spring.
Notes: Missing values are indicated by #N/A.
