Englacial temperature time-series from the northern sector of Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica
The datasets are temperature time series from strings of thermistors, each located at a discrete depth within one of six boreholes drilled to a depth of ~100 m in the northern sector of Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Supporting borehole information is presented by Ashmore and others (2017).
These data are part of the NERC-funded MIDAS (''Impact of surface melt and ponding on ice shelf dynamics and stability'') research project, with grant references NE/L006707/1 and NE/L005409/1. Associated (near-surface) borehole temperature records, OPTV logs and density records are also available, as are other MIDAS datasets.

- Statement
- Detailed methodology, including accuracy estimation, is presented by Doyle and others (2018). The data has a resolution of ~0.05 °C. Each thermistor typically logged temperature every 30 minutes for the time periods evident from each data record.
