Description
Summary:T2 is a basic mast where ground surface temperature and air temperature (2 meter above ground) are measured. The mast was installed in October 2014. It is located on the top of Skarvefjeld (830 meter above sea level) in the western end of the mountain plateau. Rocks and boulders cover the ground surface. Time stamp refer to West Greenland Time (UTC-3). Similar masts are found at other altitudes covering a gradient from 0 to 830 m above sea level (T1-temperature_125m, T3-temperature_400m, T4-Temperature_1m). Meteorology:Meteorology GeoBasis Disko:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and ...
