The drilling was carried out on 22-23.07.2023. The bedrock is built up by siltstone and sandstone. At the drilling site, they are covered by thick-bedded beach sediments. During the drilling, a depth of 7 meters below sea level was reached, and with no further drilling progress, a decision was made to install a string to the depth obtained.

Instrument routine maintenance Service of the thermistor string is planned at least once a year at the end of summer season. The battery in the logger should be replaced once every 5 years. Sampling procedures Thermistor string has the sensors at the following depths: 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.4, 5.0, 5.4, 6.0, 6.4, 7.0 m. Sampling every 1 hour and saving to internal memory.
