Summer soil temperature and moisture at the Anaktuvuk River Moderately burned site from 2010 to 2013
Soil moisture and temperature were recorded at the Anaktuvuk River burn area during the summers from 2010 to 2013. Six sensors were deployed and measured temperature on half-hourly intervals over the summer and into the fall depending on battery function. Sensors were place in a hexagonal shape around a central datalogger. Note that over time sensor depths changed due to frost heave and other environmental factors. All data contained should be treated as suspect where sensors may have been at surface. These sensors were removed August 20, 2013, no replacement sensors were installed.

Air temperature, relative humidity, soil temperatures and soil moisture for Arctic Long Term Experimental Research (ARC LTER) heath experimental plots, Toolik Field Station, North Slope Alaska for 2001-2024-09-22.
Air temperature and relative humidity at 3 meters, soil temperatures at 2 depths, 5 and 10 cm, canopy temperatures and soil moisture at 10 cm were measured in an Arctic Long Term Experimental Research (ARC-LTER) heath tundra site (DHT89) at Toolik Lake Field Station, North slope, Alaska. Only control and nutrient addition (nitrogen plus phosphorus ) treatments plots soils were measured. Note: In version 1 the moisture columns were mixed up. The fractional volumetric water columns were actually the period frequency of the wave of the sensor (Campbell Scientific CS616). Version 3 adds calculated percent moisture corrected for organic soil.
Model estimates of runoff, dissolved organic carbon, soil temperature and moisture for Elson Lagoon watershed, Alaska, 1981-2020
This dataset contains model estimates of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) yield (mg C/m^2) and runoff (mm), for surface and subsurface flows, soil temperature (degree C), and soil moisture (% of soil volume) for grid cells spanning the Elson Lagoon watershed in northwest Alaska. Daily air temperature, precipitation, and wind speed data from Utqiagvik airport were used for meteorological forcings for the daily simulation by the Permafrost Water Balance Model (PWBM) from 1981 to 2020. The DOC and runoff data files are organized by grid cell and month. The soil temperature and soil moisture files are organized by grid cell and day of year (DOY), and contain values for the first eight model soil layers, with centers of the layers at 1, 3, 8, 13, 23, 33, 45, 55 cm depth. The estimates are most useful for analyses of the dynamics of the watershed’s surface and subsurface runoff and DOC yield. Leachate DOC concentrations can be obtained using the gridded runoff and yield values. A manuscript describing the data and associated analysis has been accepted for publication in Environmental Research Letters (Rawlins et al., 2021).
Bonanza Creek LTER: Hourly Soil Temperature Measurements at Various Depths from 1988 to Present in the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest near Fairbanks, Alaska
A collection of soil temperatures from upland and floodplain sites. Temperatures are recorded from a range of depths: Surface,0, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 cm. Depths represent the depth below the organic mineral interface (O/M) that the sensor was placed. Sensors in the organic soil layers were added at some sites and are given a negative depth value to indicate they were placed above the O/M interface. There is also a Surface temperature which is kept in the top few centimeters of the forest floor.
Bonanza Creek LTER: Hourly Soil Temperature Measurements at Various Depths from 1998 to Present in the Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed near Fairbanks, Alaska
Hourly soil temperature is recorded at several sites within CPCRW. A variety of sensors are alo used including Campbell Scientific CS107's as well as a variety of thermistors.
Water Depths and Water Temperatures near Soil Surface from Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, October 2000 - ongoing
Water depth (from October 2000 to present) and water temperature (from September 2021 to present) are recorded at least hourly at SRS1c (not active), SRS1d, SRS2, SRS3, SRS4, SRS5, and SRS6. Water depth is measured with pressure water level loggers (Infinities USA or HOBO) that record water height relative to the local soil surface. Water temperature near soil surface is measured with HOBO loggers. Note by IM (2021): The water meters at some of the SRS sites have been moved over the years as boardwalks have been reconstructed. There is no set survey datum for these sites, so it is impossible to correct the data to an actual datum. For hydrologic applications, it may be better to use water level data from USGS stations.
Water Depths and Water Temperatures near Soil Surface from Taylor Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, August 1999 - ongoing
Water depth (from August 1999 to present) and water temperature (from May 2021 to present) are recorded hourly at TS/Ph1a, TS/Ph2 and TS/Ph3 and every 30 minutes at TS/Ph6a and TS/Ph7a. Water depth is measured with pressure water level loggers (Infinities USA or HOBO) that record water height relative to the local soil surface. Water temperature near soil surface is measured with HOBO loggers. Note by IM (2021): The water meters at some of the TS sites have been moved over the years as boardwalks have been reconstructed.

Shrub influence on soil moisture, nutrients, temperature and species composition, 2019 - 2020.
Shrubification, the expansion and densification of shrubs, is occurring in arctic and alpine zones across the globe (Myers-Smith et al., 2011). This alteration is primarily driven by warming temperatures (Elmendorf et al., 2012b, 2012a), and can have major consequences for the existing vegetation (Anthelme et al., 2007; Pajunen et al., 2011; Venn et al., 2014) and for nutrient pools (Sturm et al., 2005; DeMarco et al., 2014) due to the abiotic and biotic effects of shrubs. Shrubs accumulate snow which insulates the ground during the winter and provides more moisture later in the season (Liston et al., 2002). During the summer, shrubs provide shade and wind protection. Additionally, shrubs can increase the soil nitrogen (N) pool through their high input of plant material into the soil (DeMarco et al., 2014). These small-scale climatic and soil alterations have important consequences for plant community dynamics in the arctic and alpine.

SEV-LTER Mean - Variance Experiment Plains Grassland Soil Moisture and Temperature
We designed novel field experimental infrastructure to resolve the relative importance of changes in the climate mean and variance in regulating the structure and function of dryland populations, communities, and ecosystem processes. The Mean - Variance Experiment (MVE) adds three novel elements to prior designs that have manipulated interannual variance in climate in the field (Gherardi & Sala, 2013) by (i) determining interactive effects of mean and variance with a factorial design that crosses reduced mean with increased variance, (ii) studying multiple dryland biomes to compare their susceptibility to transition under interactive climate drivers, and (iii) adding stochasticity to our treatments to permit the antecedent effects that occur under natural climate variability. This new infrastructure enables direct experimental tests of the hypothesis that interactions between the mean and variance of precipitation will have larger ecological impacts than either the mean or variance in precipitation alone. A subset of plots have soil moisture and temperature sensors to evaluate treatment effectiveness by addressing, How do MVE manipulations alter the mean and variance in soil moisture and temperature? And How does micro-environmental variation among plots influence how treatments alter soil moisture profiles over three soil depths? This data package includes sensor data from the Mean x Variance experiment in the Plains grassland ecosystem at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro, NM, which is dominated by the grass species Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama).
SEV-LTER Mean x Variance Experiment Desert Grassland Soil Moisture and Temperature
We designed novel field experimental infrastructure to resolve the relative importance of changes in the climate mean and variance in regulating the structure and function of dryland populations, communities, and ecosystem processes. The Mean x Variance Experiment (MVE) adds three novel elements to prior designs (Gherardi & Sala 2013) that have manipulated interannual variance in climate in the field by (i) determining interactive effects of mean and variance with a factorial design that crosses a drier mean with increased (more) variance, (ii) studying multiple dryland ecosystem types to compare their susceptibility to transition under interactive climate drivers, and (iii) adding stochasticity to our treatments to permit the antecedent effects that occur under natural climate variability. This new infrastructure enables direct experimental tests of the hypothesis that interactions between the mean and variance of precipitation will have larger ecological impacts than either the mean or variance in precipitation alone. A subset of plots have soil moisture and temperature sensors to evaluate treatment effectiveness by addressing, How do MVE manipulations alter the mean and variance in soil moisture and temperature? And, how does micro-environmental variation among plots influence how much MVE treatments alter soil moisture profiles over three soil depths? This data package includes soil moisture and temperature sensor data from the Mean x Variance Climate experiment in the Desert grassland ecosystem at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro, NM.
BST/NOAA PSL Level 3 UAS Soil Moisture, Digital Elevation, Normalized Difference Vegetative Index, and Surface Temperature for SPLASH
<p>This dataset contains uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) high-resolution data of soil moisture at the 0-5 cm soil depth, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), surface temperature, and digital elevation for the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere, and Surface for Hydrology (SPLASH) campaign sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While Level 2 provides each product at their highest retrieved spatial resolution, Level 3 provides all four products on a common grid at each flight location. These data were collected near Avery Picnic (38.972425 degrees N,106.996855 degrees W) and Kettle Ponds (38.942005 degrees N,106.973006 degrees W) in the East River Watershed in Colorado from a series of flights starting on June 1st, 2022 and ending October 18th, 2023. Soil moisture measurements were retrieved using the Lobe Differencing Correlation Radiometer (LDCR) which is a L-Band (1-2 GHz) microwave radiometer and was flown on the E2 and S2 aerial platforms operated by Black Swift Technologies, Inc. </p> <p> </p> <p>Each Level 3 NetCDF file contains all four UAS parameters at a flight location interpolated to a common rectilinear grid at ~50 cm resolution. Soil moisture retrievals were downscaled to a higher resolution grid using bilinear interpolation while surface temperature, NDVI, and digital elevation were upscaled to a lower resolution grid using conservative interpolation. The data was regridded using the Python package xESMF which is based on code developed for the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) project. </p> <p> </p> <p>The file name convention for the Level 3 NetCDF files is as follows.</p> <p> </p> <p>uas_L3_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_vx.x.nc</p> <p>where</p> <p>L3 = Level 3 data </p> <p>yyyymmdd = year,month,day</p> <p>hhmmss = hour,minute,second</p> <p>x.x = version number </p> <p>Time is the flight start time in UTC.</p> <p>Version number description is provided in the NetCDF global attributes.</p> <p> </p> <p>Note that each flight location using the E2 aerial platform required two flights with different starting flight times for the soil moisture and the other three products. The flight start time is the time of the first flight. The total time for the two flights at each location was ~1 hour. </p> <p><strong>November 2023 update</strong>: Version 2.0 added flight data from 2023. Version 2.0 includes an updated calibration of the soil moisture retrieval that has been applied to 2023 data, and a mask was applied to the soil moisture retrieval over water surfaces for both 2022 and 2023 data. Version 2.1 adds data file uas_L3_20221018_171650_v2.1.nc that was missing in Version 2.0.</p> <p><strong>December 2023 update</strong>: Version 2.2 updated soil moisture data with a wet bias in v2.1 for flights #2 (17:40:35 UTC) and #3 (19:24:45 UTC) on July 27, 2022.</p>
Battery-less Environment Sensor Using Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting From Soil-Ambient Air Temperature Differences
<p>The data set contains the data collected from experiments sites in Belgium ( Campus Drie Eiken, University of Antwerp, 51.161° N, 4.408° W) and Iceland ( Forhot, 64.008° N, 21.178° W) for the research and evaluation of a battery-less environment sensor powered by energy harvesting. The device uses the temperature difference between soil and air to produce energy with the help of a Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) and powers a wireless sensor node. The data set includes data collected from 2 phases of the study. One during the initial evaluation phase where we collected soil temperatures at 15 cm and air temperature to evaluate the possibilities of producing energy from the temperature differences. Using these data, we estimated the energy production capacity for both sites. Further, a proof-of-concept device was developed, and its performance was evaluated with field experiments. During this process, we collected the voltage level of the storage unit, i.e, the capacitor, air and soil temperatures and the TEG output voltage. During both phases, the same methods were employed to collect data. The voltage values were measured with a 12-bit ADC and the temperature was measured with 1-Wire temperature sensor. Further, the collected data were transferred to cloud storage in real-time for further analysis and evaluation. </p> <ul> <li><strong>cde_mseasurements_oct2020-nov2020.csv</strong> <ul> <li> Soil temperature and air temperature data from the Campus Drie Eiken at the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
