Seasonal water table depth (WTD) measurements from a Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) grid, Barrow, Alaska, 2017
Water table depth (WTD) measurements were taken along the Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) grid in Barrow, Alaska during the summer of 2017. The MISP grid is situated about 200 meters to the north east side of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) dry sites. If a uniform representatio...

Water table depth (WTD) measurements were taken along the Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) grid in Barrow, Alaska during the summer of 2017. The MISP grid is situated about 200 meters to the north east side of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) dry sites. If a uniform representation of the water table within each plot was visible, then a WTD tube was placed there to measure the change in water table throughout the season. For instance if the plot was half saturated and half dry, then that plot was skipped and no tube was placed there. The exact location of WTD tubes are as follows: Between meters 0-1, 2-3, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 18-19, 20-21, 24-25, 26-27, 28-29, 30-31, 32-33, 34-35, 36-37, 38-39, 42-43, 44-45, 47-48, and 49-50.
