The automatic weather station AWS4 was installed in August 2015. It is located 240 meter above sea level on the southern slope of Skarvefjeld. The mast is located on a vegetation-covered plateau. The time stamp refer to West Greenland Standard Time (UTC-3). Soil temperatures are measured in 5 and 20 cm´s depth. Find meteorological data from AWS4 under Meteorology (AWS4-Meteorology). Find soil moisture data from AWS4 under Soil (AWS4-SoilMoisture). The mast is equipped with a HOBO U30 station from Onset and data are logged every 30 minutes. 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 ...
