This dataset contains time-domain reflectometry (TDR), thermistor, and automatic weather station (AWS) data from summer, 2016 at DYE-2 on the southwestern Greenland Ice Sheet. Two firn pits were excavated, 5.3 and 2.2 m deep, and vertical arrays of TDR sensors and thermistors were installed to track meltwater infiltration and refreezing through the summer melt season (Samimi et al., 2020). AWS, TDR, and thermistor data were written to a Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger and the raw (ascii) output from the datalogger is imported to an Excel spreadsheet. Data have been quality-controlled through the elimination of any non-physical values (e.g., -99999); these are replaced with NaN or blanks in the dataset. The thermistor and AWS data are complete. Ultrasonic depth gauge (SR50A) data are filtered to remove non-physical values and erroneous data associated with spurious reflections from blowing snow.
