Entry ID: ggd361

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set includes meteorological measurements from 32 climatological stations in Centre d'Etudes Nordiques, Quebec, Canada. The stations are in areas of frozen rock, permafrost mound, clayey mound, silty mound, tidal marsh, shore terrace, glacial till, permafrost plateau with snow patch, or under or near airport runways. Parameters include ground temperature, air temperature, relative humidity, and snow depth. Ground temperature was measured at 2 to 25 m below the surface at irregular intervals.
