The maximum daily mean temperatures at 10 cm were below 8°C. The extremes in mean daily temperatures were encountered in the polygon trough with core 3 being the coolest (2° to ° C) and core 6 the warmest (° to °C). These differ- ences are undoubtedly due to local microrelief and soil properties. Temperatures at these shal- low soil depths closely reflected daily air tem- peratures. Since gravel pads and roads cover a signifi- cant portion of the Prudhoe landscape, it is important to know how they influence near- surface temperature and thaw regimes. Tempera- tures of gravel surfaces as compared to air.
