Borehole thermometry data from Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, 2007

Borehole temperature measurements from the upper 300 m of Rutford Ice Stream. A string of thermistors was installed into a hot-water drilled hole in February 2005. The string comprised 10 calibrated thermistors at approximately 30 m spacing. The temperature measurements provided were taken in February 2007, following ample time for the heat from the drilling process to have dissipated.

Statement

Each thermistor was calibrated in a temperature-controlled water bath prior to deployment.

Temperature-measurement accuracy was +/- 0.01 °C (Barret et al., 2009).

The depth of each thermistor beneath the surface was accurate to better than +/- 10 cm at the time of installation.
