The data are from a test section of the Beaver Creek experimental road site (BC-RES) (62° 20' N; 140° 50' W; 649 m a.s.l.). The dataset covers the period 13/04/1997 - 31/12/2007. The thermistor strings (accuracy of ± 0.1 °C between -10 °C to +10 °C; ± 0.2 °C between -50 °C to -10°C and +10°C to 30 °C) were installed in the boreholes located in the natural ground (8.0 m, YG4 Original), at the centerline of the road (9.7 m, YG4 Original), and in the slope of the unmitigated embankment (9.7 m, YG4 Original). Detailed descriptions of the test section can be found in Coulombe et al. (2012), Malenfant-Lepage et al. (2012), Stephani (2013) and Chen et al. (2020, 2021). The ground temperature data (°C) are available as: (1) recorded data, measured at one-hour intervals; (2) daily averages.
