This report summarizes climatological, ground-temperature, and soil data obtained at Barrow, Alaska. The climatological data were obtained from U. S. Weather BUREAU RECORDS. Various periods-of-record were used, the minimum being 10 years unless otherwise noted in the report. The ground-temperature data presented were obtained from daily observations during the years 1947 through 1956 with the soil data obtained from samples taken while drilling two holes: one in July 1946 and the other in October 1957.
