Ground temperatures in ice-cemented ground at Linnaeus Terrace, Dry Valleys, Antarctica
Entry ID:
ggd6
Summary
Abstract:
Soil temperatures were measured with Campbell 107 soil thermistors. Thermistors were placed at 0, 17, 23 (just above the ice-cemented permafrost) and 40 cm depth. To emplace the sensors, first a soil pit was dug to the level of ice-cemented permafrost. Then a hammer drill was used to make a narrow, 15 cm deep hole into the ice-cemented ground. The thermistor was placed into the drill hole. This ...
