Ice temperatures were measured along two chains of thermistors deployed close to the ice core sampling sites. The two thermistor chains were about 2.5 m long and included 26 and 30 sensors respectively, with a regular spacing of 0.06 m. At deployment, the first thermistor was located right at the ice-air interface. The resulting time series describes the evolution of ice temperature over time from 5 April to 29 December 2005, and from 30 March to 20 December 2006, with sample intervals of 6 hours.76.36-69.37National Key Research and Development Program of Chinahttps://doi.org/10.13039/5011000121662021YFC2803304National Natural Science Foundation of Chinahttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000180941606222National Natural Science Foundation of Chinahttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000180942325604National Natural Science Foundation of Chinahttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000180952192691
