Automatic monitoring of the effective thermal conductivity of snow in a low-Arctic shrub tundra

The effective thermal conductivity of snow, <i>k</i><sub>eff</sub>, is a critical variable which determines the temperature gradient in the snowpack and heat exchanges between the ground and the atmosphere through the snow. Its accurate knowledge is therefore required to simu...
