[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Air and ground surface temperatures from 31 sites in the Kuparuk Basin, Alaska, between 1994 and 1996, were measured using inexpensive miniature data loggers and a simplified instrument mounting system. The system was originally designed for recording winter air temperatures. Summer air temperatures have been adversely affected by solar heating and should be used with caution.
