Description
Summary:These files contain data representing the thaw depths of ITEX plots in Barrow and Atqasuk in a text tab delimited format. The data presented are daily to seasonal thaw depths of 48 plots (24 experiment open-top chamber plots and 24 control plots) at four sites (Atqasuk Wet Meadow, Atqasuk Dry Heath, Barrow Wet Meadow, and Barrow Dry Heath). Thaw depths were measured to the nearest cm by inserting a graduated metal rod into the ground until the frozen surface was reached. For control plots 1-4 of the corners were measured and the average is presented. For experimental open-top chamber plots only the center of the plot was measured and thus presented.
