Air/Snow temperature vertical profiles at different nodes of the 'Limnopolar Lake' CALM site, in Byers Península Livingston Island, Antarctica (2013-2022)

Air or seasonal snow temperature data were collected at different heights above the ground between 2013 and 2022 using an array of temperature micro-loggers (iButton models by Maxim) mounted on vertical wooden masts. These measurements were conducted at various nodes within the 100x100 m 'Limnopolar Lake' CALM site (A25) grid of the PERMATHERMAL network, managed by the University of Alcalá, Madrid, Spain, to monitor active layer thickness on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

In 2013, nine arrays were installed at nodes with relative coordinates (00,00), (00,05), (00,10), (05,00), (05,05), (05,10), (10,00), (10,05), and (10,10). Measurements were taken at heights of 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40 cm above the ground surface using DS1921G iButton loggers, which recorded air/snow temperatures every 4 hours. This experiment, referred to as 'Mini', was active for only one year and is now discontinued.

Between 2017 and 2022, three arrays were installed at nodes (00,00), (05,05), and (10,10). These arrays measured air/snow temperatures at heights of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, and 160 cm above the ground surface using DS1922L iButton loggers, which recorded temperatures every 3 hours. This experiment, referred to as 'HR', has also been discontinued.
