SoilEmpSa 6h

SoilEmpSa is one of the three automatic soil stations in Kobbefjord. The station was established in 2008 and is placed on empetrum and salix vegetation (crowberry and willow) on the eastern side of the river on a south facing slope 40 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 SoilEmpSa 30 min), while the soil moisture (Delta-T, ML2x) is logged every six hours. The station had a lot of problems with foxes destroying the sensors resulting in periodically missing data the first couple of years.
