Summary
This data set is a database of the permafrost and geothermal conditions of the
oil and gas deposits of Western Siberia. Data were taken from 736 plots, each
having from one to ten wells. The data set includes soil and rock temperatures
at 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, and 3000 meters; depth of the
bedding of the top and ... bottom of permafrost layers; size of the thermal flows
in the subpermafrost; and thickness of frozen layers and underlying thawed
layers. Additional information includes the geographical coordinates of the
sites, the air temperature, permafrost-geothermal geological sections, maps of
thermal flows, and the distribution of the temperatures at each depth (down to
5000 meters). The data are presented on the CAPS Version 1.0 CD-ROM, June
1998.
