Long-term underground temperature measurements by quartz thermometers at Syowa Station, East Antarctica
Underground temperature measurements in two shallow boreholes were carried out by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition at Syowa Station, East Antarctica from April 1981 to January 1984. Two quartz thermometers were installed in the first borehole at the depths of 2 and 5m and three were in the sec...
