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; 15.6; 16.6; 17.6; 18.6; 19.6; 20.6; 21.6; 22.6; 23.6; 24.6; 25.6; 26.6; 27.6; 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.
