Active-Layer Thickness is inferred
from ground temperature profile measurements by Campbell CR10 data logger (depth of sensors [m]: 0.6;
1.6; 2.6; 3.6; 4.6; 5.6; 6.6; 7.6; 8.6; 9.6; 10.6; 11.6; 12.6; 13.6; 14.6;

28.6; 29.6; 30.6; 31.6; 32.6; 33.6). . The ALT values are presented in
summary table. The dataset also include soil temperature data for 03.07.1987 -
07.07.1997 period. For details on site description and instrumentation contact
