Description

This dataset contains soil sensor measurements collected as part of the SnowEx Alaska 2023 field campaign. Time series measurements occurred at two locations within the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF), Alaska, from sensors inserted into the soil and into a tree. Variables measured include soil volumetric water content, soil and tree temperature, soil electrical conductivity, and tree apparent dielectric permittivity. Soil measurements were obtained using a Campbell Scientific CS650 water content reflectometer, and tree-mounted measurements were obtained using a METER Group TEROS 12 sensor.
