Ground temperature and meteorological data from a permafrost peatland in Tavvavuoma, northern Sweden, 2006–2013

Britta Sannel

This monitoring dataset contains information on ground temperature and thaw depth, and meteorological parameters (air temperature, summer precipitation and snow depth) from a permafrost peatland in northern Sweden. The data covers the time period 2006-2013, and the aim of this study was to increase our understanding of how climatic factors affect the ground temperature and thaw depth in permafrost peatlands.
