We present a snowpit analysis template developed during Hansbreen Snowpit Database preparation.

Relying on the enclosed files will enable the efficient use of the Interactive Snow Profile Visualizer niViz software (https://niviz.org) and achieve interoperable final products.
ZIP catalogue contains the following filenames extensions: 
	A) PDF – used to print table template on a waterproof paper (A4 or A5 format) and provide collecting the complete range of data during fieldwork;
	B) XLS – used for data archiving. Contained formulas automatically calculate the thickness and water equivalent of subsequent snow layers.

All information regarding the snow data harmonization on Hansbreen is available in the journal article:
	Laska M., Luks B., Kępski D., Gądek B., Głowacki P., Puczko D., Migała K., Nawrot A., Pętlicki M. 
	Hansbreen Snowpit Dataset – over 30-year of detailed snow research on an Arctic glacier. 
	Scientific Data [in review]

All collected data are available via the PANGAEA Data Publisher:

We encourage the entire snow research community to use the presented materials and further development of the Hansbreen Snowpit Database. We remain open to any remarks.
