Ground surface temperature (GST), active layer and permafrost monitoring in continental Antarctica
Active layer and permafrost monitoring at two sites in Northern Victoria Land, Boulder Clay (74 degrees 44'45"S-164 degrees 01'17"E at 205 m a.s.l.) and Oasi (74 degrees 42'S-164 degrees 06'E at 80m a.s.l.), have been undertaken since 1996. Active layer monitoring was p...

Active layer and permafrost monitoring at two sites in Northern Victoria Land, Boulder Clay (74 degrees 44'45"S-164 degrees 01'17"E at 205 m a.s.l.) and Oasi (74 degrees 42'S-164 degrees 06'E at 80m a.s.l.), have been undertaken since 1996. Active layer monitoring was performed at Boulder Clay by probing on a 100 x 100 m grid following the CALM protocol, and by temperature measurements to ascertain the maximum depth of the 0 degrees C isotherm. Automatic and year-round recording of ground temperatures and of the main climatic parameters was carried out near the grid.
