HOEM_SOILT

Description: 

HOEM - Soil Temperature

File: 

File mcmlter-clim-hoem_soilt-15min-20230620.csv

Methods: 

Lake Hoare soil temperature at 5 cm depth discontinued in 94/95 to make room for a pressure sensor and soil temperature at 0 cm and 10 cm depths discontinued in 95/96 to make room for thermocouple. Three (3) 107 temperature probes were installed in Dec 2002

Instrumentation: 

1993-1994 - 1995-1996 - present: SoilT @ 0cm, 5cm, and 10cm: Campbell Scientific 107B temperature probe 2002-2003 - present: SoilT @ 0cm, 5cm, and 10cm: Campbell Scientific 107 temperature probe
