GeoBasis Disko - Soil - AWS4-SoilTemperature

The automatic weather station AWS4 was established in August 2015. It is located 240 meter above sea level on the southern slope of Skarvefjeld. The mast is placed on a vegetation covered plateau. The station is running West Greenland Time (UTC-3). Meteorological data from AWS4 are found under Meteorology (AWS4-Meteorology). Soil moisture data from AWS4 can be found under Soil (AWS4-SoilMoisture). The mast is equipped with a HOBO U30 station from Onset and data are logged every 30 minutes. Soil:Soil GeoBasis Disko:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and research projects (e.g. the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) programme, the Nordic Centre of Excellence DEFROST, the Danish Centre of Excellence CENPERM, the EU-projects PAGE21 and INTERACT, and the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University). The GeoBasis programme is divided into a number of sub-groups, including:
