Distributed temperature sensing data from a borehole drilled to the base of Sermeq Kujalleq (Store Glacier), Greenland, in July 2019
This is distributed temperature sensing (DTS) data from a 1,043 m borehole drilled to the base of Sermeq Kujalleq (Store Glacier), Greenland, 28 km inland from the glacier terminus. The DTS system was installed on 5 July 2019, with recordings continuing until cable failure on 13 August 2019. The record resolution is ~0.65 m.
This work was primarily funded and conducted as part of the European Research Council RESPONDER project (https://www.erc-responder.eu/) under the European Union''s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (Grant 683043). Robert Law was supported by Natural Environment Research Council Doctoral Training Partnership studentships (Grant NE/L002507/1).

- Statement
- The data was calibrated using thermistor data and temperate ice at the phase-transition temperature. 95% confidence intervals are reported in Law et al. (2021) and are provided in this data set, derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. The data was fitted to thermistors, subjectivity in this fitting, and thermistor uncertainty from factors such as ice-bath calibration may further increase unertainty - see Law et al. (2021) for a full discussion.
