Seasonal Soil Moisture from the Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP) and the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) grids in Barrow and Atqasuk, Alaska 2020
Seasonal soil moisture measurements were collected during 2020 growing season at each Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) grid subset plot (30) and at each Mobile Instrumented System Platform (MISP). Both of these grids are located at Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska as well as in Atqasuk,...
