Summary:

The BOREAS TE-06 team collected several data sets to examine the influence of vegetation, climate, and their interactions on the major carbon fluxes for boreal forest species. This data set contains measurements of the air temperature at a single height and soil temperature at several depths in the NSA from 25-May to 8-Oct-1994. Chromel-Constantan thermocouple wires run by a miniprogrammable data logger (Model 21X, Campbell Scientific, Inc., Logan, UT) provided direct measurements of temperature.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/daacdata/boreas/TE/te6satns/comp/TE06_Soil_Temp.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
