This dataset contains the firn temperature measurements and estimated measurement depths from nine Greenland Climate Network (GC-Net) stations: Crawford Point 1 (CP1), Dye-2, NASA-SE, Saddle, NASA-U, NASA-E, Summit and Tunu-N. They were produced for, and described in Vandecrux et al. (2020, https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2020.30). Firn temperatures were filtered from obvious erroneous measurements and from measurement noise. Measurement depths were calculated from installation depth and updated for accumulation of new snow at the surface and compaction of snow and firn above the sensor.
