M5 was located in a wet fen area called 'Rylekæret', just 20 meters North of the Automatic Chamber site. The station was in operation 2009 - 2017. The 60 min file only runs until July 2010, but covers periods where there is no data from the 10 min file. Soil temperature is measured in 2, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cm, using Campbell scientific T107 thermocouples. Soil temperature is also measured in 2, 8, 12 and 16 cm depth, using East 30 Sensors, thermal conductivity sensors. Every 12th hour these conductivity sensors emit a heat pulse, hence measurements from 01:00 and 13:00 have been removed as these are affected by the heat pulse. 2017: Due to technical problems, the M5 station was terminated in August.

Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level ...
