SoilEmp is one of the three automatic soil stations in Kobbefjord. The station was established in 2008 and is placed on empetrum (crowberry) vegetation on the eastern side of the river 33 m.a.s.l. The station (CR1000 logger) is running UTC-3 West Greenlandic Winter time (WGWT). Soil temperatures (thermocouple, 105T) and soil heat flux (hukseflux, HFP01) are logged every 30 minutes (see SoilEmp 30 min), while the soil moisture (Delta-T, ML2x and SM300) is logged every six hours. Comments for six hour data: The ML2x soil moisture sensor in 50 cm depth was broken in July/August 2018 and was changed in August to a Delta-T, SM300 sensor. The new sensor showed bad data maybe due to bad contact to the soil and is deleted from August 2018. The soil moisture sensors in 30 cm and 50 cm depth also seem to be affected after the station work in August 2018. Therefore the time series of soil moisture data have been divided in a dataset before and after the station work in August 2018. Soil moisutre data from SoilEmp after August 2018 is located in the timeseries SoilEmp 6h_2020-.
