These files contain data representing the detailed microclimate of ITEX plots in Barrow and Atqasuk in a CSV format. The data presented are hourly plant canopy temperature, soil temperature, soil moisture, and soil salinity of four plots (two experiment open-top chamber plots and two control plots) at four sites (Atqasuk Wet Meadow, Atqasuk Dry Heath, Barrow Wet Meadow, and Barrow Dry Heath). Model 107 Temperature Probe, MRC Temperature Probes and Vitel Hydra Probes were recorded on a CR10X Datalogger. Temperatures were taken every 15 minutes averaged and recorded every hour. Vitel Voltages were recorded every hour and were converted to WFV and Salinity with the Vitel Program <HYD_FILE.EXE>. Temperatures recorded with the HOBO Pro were recorded every 10-18 minutes and were averaged each hour. Details off the precision and accuracy of each recording device can be obtained from the manufacture. Information on the equipment is provided below.
