Physical features of the snowpack - Spitsbergen
Dataset contains detailed measurements of physical features of seasonal snow cover, according to International Classification of Seasonal Snow on the Ground (Fierz et al. 2009). Fieldwork has been done during peak of accumulation on several glaciers in the region of Hornsund, Svalbard:
Amundsenisen (2013)
Hansbreen (three sites; 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018)
Werenskioldbreen (two sites; 2013, 2015)
Nannbreen (2013)
Ariebreen (2014)
