Ice wedge polygonal tundra water levels were measured at a total of 45 locations representing polygon centers and troughs during three summers. Early season water levels, which were still affected by ice and snow, are represented by manual measurements only. Continuous (less than hourly) measurements followed through early fall (~mid-Sep). The data set contains inundation depth (cm), absolute water level and local ground surface elevation (masl). There are a total of 209 files in this dataset. The data were originally provided in Excel workbooks and these files have been preserved within the zip "Original_Files." The workbooks were also transformed and separated by well ID, year, and/or area into 205 extracted files. The Excel files were transformed for archiving with images pulled out into JPEGs, data preserved as CSV files and some methodological information preserved as TXT files. Some functions, features, and formatting were lost during the transformation. Missing data were defined with blank cells. ...
