The automatic weather station AWS2 was installed in August 2012 in Østerlien just east of Arctic Station. The station is located approximately 25 meter above sea level in a gentle south sloping area covered by low vegetation/dwarf shrubs. The time stamp refer to West Greenland Standard Time (UTC-3). Snow is measured as a point measurement below the mast. Find more data from AWS2 under Soil (AWS2-GroundTemperatureP1 and P2, AWS2-SoilHeatFlux, AWS2-SurfaceTemperature). Find meteorological data from AWS2 under Meteorology (AWS2-Meteorology). All data are logged by 30 minutes interval. Snow:Snow 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 ...
