Summary

The focus of this dataset is soil temperature collected on four mountain summits in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA from 2014 through 2019, with data from one older logger included with a date range of 2006 to 2009. Two summit sites were established in 2003 on Dancing Lady and Bison Mountain, east of the continental divide. Two additional summit sites were established in 2004 on Pitamakin and Mt. Seward, also east of the continental divide. These four summit sites comprise a target region set up in accordance with the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA). GLORIA was initiated by the University of Vienna in 2000 and protocols for operating target regions have been refined and revised since then. [...]
