Site description
The data is from one test sections of the Beaver Creek experimental road site (BC-RES) (62° 20' N, 140° 50' W; 649 m a.s.l.). The dataset covers the period 13/04/1997 - 31/12/2007. The thermistor strings (accuracy of ± 0.1 °C between -10 °C to + 10 °C; ± 0.2 °C between -50 °C to + 30 °C) were installed in 9.7-m deep boreholes located at the centerline of the road and in the slope of the unmitigated embankment (YG4 Original). Details description of the test section can be found in the Coulombe et al., (2012), Malenfant-Lepage et al., (2012), and Stephani. E., (2013). The ground temperature data (°C) are available as: (1) recorded data, which are measured at one hour interval; (2) daily averages.
