Surface ablation/accumulation was measured at 50 locations at the 79°N Glacier (Nioghalvfjerdsbraeen Glacier) in northeast Greenland in 2017 and 2018 (see link in "Further details"). Ablation/Accumulation are measured changes in height above ground level of bamboo poles installed in early July 2017 and changes were measured in July 2018.
Data were measured by Daniel Steinhage (AWI), Mirko Scheinert (TU Dresden), Niklas Neckel (AWI) and Ole Zeising (AWI).This dataset has been planned by Angelika Humbert (AWI) as part of the iGRIFF expeditions and as contribution to GROCE. If you have questions, please contact Ole Zeising (ole.zeising@awi.de).--A negative change in height means ablation, a positive accumulation.
