T1 is a basic mast where ground surface temperature and air temperature (2 meter above ground) are measured. The mast was installed in August 2014. It is located on the top of Pjeturssons moraine ridge (125 meter above sea level) on a surface covered by low dwarf shrub vegetation. The time stamp refer to West Greenland Standard Time (UTC-3). Similar masts are found at other altitudes covering a gradient from 0 to 830 m above sea level (T2-temperature_830m, T3-temperature_400m, T4-Temperature_1m). Meteorology:Meteorology 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 ...
