The Norwegian PACE boreholes (Janssonhaugen Svalbard and Juvvasshøe southern Mainland Norway) are taken care of by Dr. Ketil Isaksen, so also for the coming years. He serves the dataloggers and collects the data.  The data are stored at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (met.no). ​ 

MAGT (C) -5,2
MAGT_DEPTH (m) 10,0
MAGT_DATE 01.08.2008-31.07.200

MEAN ANNUAL GROUND TEMPERATURE AT OR NEAR DEPTH OF ZERO ANNUAL AMPLITUDE (°C) – report  value for most recent year or 12 month interval

-5.9°C (MAGT-ZAA)

Depth of zero annual amplitude (or depth of measurement reported above)  (m) 18m

Year or 12 month interval for mean reported above 2005

Range (if applicable) of mean annual ground temperature over observation period (°C) 0.4 °C

 

AIR TEMPERATURE AND SNOW COVER THICKNESS/DENSITY MEASUREMENTS AT THE BOREHOLE SITE (indicate frequency of observations):

Air temperature: Yes [x ] No [ ]    Snow thickness: Yes[ ] No[x]   Density: Yes [ ] No[x]

Also windspeed and direction – all observations every hour

 

NAME AND LOCATION OF CLOSEST CLIMATE STATION (latitude, longitude, and distance from borehole, km) – provide (if available) mean monthly air temperature and snow depth of reporting interval for mean annual ground temperature
