Properties of ice cores from Hobart Lake, North Dakota, USA, 2021
Description
This data release presents data that were collected as part of a larger effort (Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network [GLEON] IceBlitz) to enhance understanding of the spatial and temporal variation in global lake ice properties. During January and February of 2021 ice cores were extracted from Hobart Lake, North Dakota, USA and characterized following standard procedures. Characteristics of the cores were recorded, including thickness of distinct layers and presence of visible bubbles and impurities. Surface conditions (e.g., snow, slush) were also characterized and water and air temperature were measured and recorded.
