W 156° 35’ 19.9”
This soil climate station is located north of Barrow, Alaska, on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO), which consists of
7,466 acres of arctic tundra that has been permanently set aside for arctic research projects. This climate stations was established
in June of 1996, and is at an elevation of about 4 m (16 ft). This station monitors soil temperature at 15, 25, 24, and 43 cm depths,
and soil water content at 15, 25, 34, and 46 cm depths. Soil temperature and moisture content are measured in a frost boil at 10, 25,
40, and 55 cm depths. Measurements are made at 20-minute intervals and averaged and recorded every hour.
