Seasonal Water Table Depth (WTD) from the Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) and the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) grids in Barrow and Atqasuk, Alaska 2020
Seasonal water table depth measurements were collected during 2020 growing seasons at each Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) located at Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska as well as in Atqasuk, Alaska. If a uniform representation of the water table within each plot was visible, then a WTD...
