SAMPLING
DESIGN AND METHOD:
50x50 grid consists of a square array of thaw tubes separated by 10
m, yielding 36 of sampling nodes on each grid. Additional temperature/moisture installations
include 10 thermistors MMT-1 (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8,
1.0, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 5.0 m); 2 data logger TR-52 (0.0, 1.6 m); 1 data
logger TR-51A (0.0 m).
