Data package purpose: This data package was created to contain all data used in an upcoming article, "Canopy Cover and Microtopography Control Precipitation-Enhanced Thaw of Ecosystem-Protected Permafrost." In review. This data package includes: Raw output from 19 distributed temperature profilers with a thermistor every 10 cm along a 160 cm length at a measurement interval of 15 minutes (.CSV). Raw output from two soil moisture and temperature profilers (90 cm length and 120 cm length) that took composite soil moisture readings every 15 cm along the sensor length at a measurement interval of 30 minutes (.CSV). Permafrost depths were measured annually in mid-September at DTP sensor locations (.CSV) and along an across-site transect (.CSV). Environmental variables (snow depth, canopy closure, moss depth, and elevation) for all sensor locations. Real-time kinetic (RTK) GPS points showing site microtopography (.CSV). Analysis software: Our analysis was done in Matlab. File types can be used with any software.
