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 The Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada permitted access to the unpublished Eureka weather station journal in 1973.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.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	To quantify the ground volumes in the Western Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island (NU, Canada), 152 boreholes were drilled to depths of 1 to 8 meters from 1972 and 1974. This borehole was drilled on 1974-07-23. The dataset describes soil stratigraphy and characteristics (soil moisture content and composition), volumetri ground ice content, and surface deposits. Soil characteristics were determined in the laboratory, and volumetric ice content was determined with a combination of visual estimates and laboratory measurements.
