T1-Soil temperature consist of temperature sensors installed in a soil pit. The sensors were installed in August 2018 . The soil pit is located on the top of Pjeturssons moraine ridge on a surface covered by low dwarf shrub vegetation. The time stamp refer to West Greenland Standard Time (UTC-3). Soil surface temperature and air temperature in 2 m are measured at the same site under Meteorology (T1_Temperature_125m) Soil:Soil 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 SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. ...
