The Bear Brook Watershed in Maine is a whole-ecosystem chemical manipulation initiated in 1987 to study the effects of acid deposition on forests and surface waters. The focus of this research was to understand the biogeochemical response of watersheds with emphasis on chemistry and hydrology. In 2001 a program was initiated to provide more detailed measurements of temperature and moisture to examine critical linkages amongst chemical, biological, and physical processes that ultimately work together to define ecosystem function. The purpose of this publication is to provide data from the initial phase of soil temperature, air temperature, and soil moisture measurements …

Recent warming of the Arctic stimulated speculations about dissociation of methane hydrates in the Arctic seabed and a new climatic positive feedback. Here, for the first time, methane low tropospheric satellite retrievals over the Arctic from two instruments: AIRS (Atmospheric IR Sounder) and IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) were analyzed. Analyzed are data for areas over open water with high values of the vertical thermal contrast (ThC, defined here as the temperature difference between the surface and altitude of 4 km); they have been found to be reliable. The seasonal cycles of the data well correlate with the cycles measured …
