Borehole Ground Temperature Data at Bull Pass and Marble Point, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
There are two borehole stations located in the McMurdo Sound region of Antarctica. They were set up to study permafrost temperatures and active-layer thermal Regimes to a depth of 30 m (98 ft).
Bull Pass Station (-77.51808333, 161.8511667) was established in November of 2005, and is located in the Wright Valley at the base of Bull Pass about 250 m west of the Bull Pass soil climate station, at an elevation of 150 m (492 ft). Marble Point Station (-77.407316, 163.729133) is located on a coastal ridge about 0.75 miles northeast of the Marble Point soil climate station, at an elevation of 85 m (279 ft).
The borehole stations monitor ground temperature at depths of 0.3, 0.6, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 25, and 29.5 m. Ground temperatures are measured hourly with averages recorded every six hours. For additional site information and methods refer to https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp.7 15.
There are nine soil climate and atmospheric stations at Scott Base, Marble Point, Mount Fleming, Bull Pass, Granite Harbour, Minna Bluff, Victoria Valley, Don Juan Pond and Bull Pass which are collected alongside these borehole data (see associated resource).
