Introduction
This is a collection of all Greenland ice borehole temperature profiles we have been able to find. Secondary data, useful to use the temperature profile, is also included when available.

Database format
** Inputs
Profiles are provided by archived data, shared via personal communication, tables in publications, or digitized from graphics in publications. When profiles are available only graphically in publications, we digitize these using the desktop version of =WebPlotDigitizer= citep:WPD.
Each profile is placed in a folder, where the folder has the same name as the =Borehole ID=. Within each folder the following exist:
Other files may exist. These include:
** Outputs
The output of this work is in the [[./data/]] sub-folder:
** Metadata
Metadata for each profile includes:
head -n1 ./data/meta.csv | tr ',' '\n'
