Temperatures in subarctic lakes on the Stordalen Mire, Abisko, Northern Sweden
Patrick Crill, Martin Wik
Water temperature measurements in three small post-glacial subarctic lakes (Inre Harrsjön, Mellersta Harrsjön, Villasjön) surrounding the Stordalen Mire, 9 km east of Abisko, south of Lake Torneträsk, in northern Sweden. The measurements are made with intercalibrated datalogger strings at multiple depths.
This is a unique multiyear record of lake temperatures in the zone of discontinuous permafrost made with internally consistent sensors. The lake temperature data from the rapidly changing arctic will be of use to biogeochemists, limnologists, climatologists and earth systems scientists.
Note that this is an outdated revision of the dataset and there is an
updated version.

Data description
Measurements are made with datalogger strings at five depths: 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 6.7 – 7.0 m. Data are recorded at intervals between 5 and 60 minutes. Data coverage (depth, time, sampling intervals) vary over time and between the lakes. Intercalibrated HOBO dataloggers are used. Data are stored in CSV files. A README file and supporting site information are provided as a PDF and a KMZ file.
Comments
Data are available for the period from 2009-06-11 to 2015-06-20.
