Permafrost Temperature Data from a Deep Borehole Array on the Arctic Slope of Alaska, Version 1

These data consist of fully processed permafrost temperature data from borehole logs acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from the 24-element US Department of the Interior (DOI) Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost (GTN-P) Deep Borehole Array in arctic Alaska beginning in 1973. The data represent the true temperatures in the wellbores and surrounding rocks at the time of the measurements.
