The Dataset's Variables and Attributes

Row Type Variable Name Attribute Name Data Type Value
attribute NC_GLOBAL _NCProperties String version=2,netcdf=4.7.3,hdf5=1.10.6
attribute NC_GLOBAL acknowledgement String D. Martin Barnett provided the initial encouragement to investigate ground ice by coring. Much advice was given by others during field work, especially J.J. Veillette and S.A. Edlund. Excellent field assistance was provided by R.J. Richardson in 1972; R.E. Allan, b. Feldbruegge, S. Hotzel, and L.R. Stevenson in 1973; B.G. Green, A.C. Liard and R. Young in 1974. The Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada permitted access to the unpublished Eureka weather station journal in 1973. The field logs were painstakingly transcribed into an orderly body by Theresa Grasby. Result digitizing was supported by PermafrostNet Theme 1.
