View larger version (26K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2. Temperature record from sensors located in the coldest (Sensor 12) and warmest (Sensor 26) parts of Field 1 in 2001. The pattern from Field 2 was similar except that all temperatures were warmer and oscillations at the end of the season tended to be much smaller.
