1-sq km grid consists of a square array
of surveyed permanent stakes separated by 100 m, yielding an 11 × 11
array of sampling nodes on each grid. Thaw depth and snow sampling was
conducted twice by manual probing at each stake. The two values for each
sampling point are averaged, yielding a maximum of 121 data points per grid per
probing date. The active layer was not measured at locations where grid points
intersect rocks or deep water.
