Air temperature is measured in 0 cm on Nansenblokken on the eastern slope of Zackenberg, in 480 meters above sea level. The measurements were started in 2002. Initially the temperature was recorded every second hour, until 2003 when logging interval was changed to every hour. Blank cells are missing data. Meteorology:Meteorology GeoBasis Zackenberg: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. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and ...
