Dataset AbstractAt each site, two vertical columns of temperature sensors (107-L Temperature Probes, Campbell Scientific, Logan, Utah) were installed and connected to data loggers (CR1000 Dataloggers, Campbell Scientific, Logan, Utah). At each, one temperature sensor in a heat shield was installed 2 m above the ground surface. The remaining temperature sensors were installed at or below the ground surface, with the depths and depth intervals depending upon the total depth of the column. The data were collected hourly between May 19, 2010 and December 1, 2015.
