Downwelling shortwave flux in air measurements from AWS located on the Werenskioldbreen. The sensors are installed on a mast that is mounted in the glacier ice. During the season, the distance between the glacier's surface and the sensors increases. The station is serviced at least once a year between March and April.

Inventory of tidewater glaciers delineated from archival satellite images (Aster, Landsat) acquired in the period 1999-2006. Shapefiles have basic information in the attribute table (name, ID, area, length, front type of tidewater glaciers). When a tidewater glacier has a compound basin, only that part of it feeding the calving front was taken into consideration and presented here as the tidewater glacier. This implies that tributary glaciers clearly separated from the main basin by moraines are not included in the database. Similarly, marginal sections of tidewater glaciers that terminate on land are not included in the Inventory. Detailed description of the source data and accuracy can be found in: Błaszczyk M., Jania J., Hagen J.O. 2009: Tidewater glaciers of Svalbard: Recent changes and estimates of calving fluxes.

Wind direction measurements from AWS located on the Werenskioldbreen. The sensors are installed on a mast that is mounted in the glacier ice. During the season, the distance between the glacier's surface and the sensors increases. The station is serviced at least once a year between March and April.

High-resolution orthomosaic derived from aerial images captured in 2020 over Hornsund, Svalbard by Dornier aircraft. The spatial resolution of the orthomosaic is 0.087 m. Aerial images for the area were provided by the SIOS through a dedicated call of proposals (https://sios-svalbard.org/AirborneRS). The dataset is the supplement to the paper: Błaszczyk, M.; Laska, M.; Sivertsen, A.; Jawak, S.D. Combined Use of Aerial Photogrammetry and Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Detecting Geomorphological Changes in Hornsund, Svalbard. Remote Sens. 2022, 14, 601. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14030601

Hansbreen velocity along the center line (stakes 2 to 11) is measured with a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver and were manually recorded weekly for stakes 2 through 5, and monthly for stakes 6 through 11, dependent on weather conditions. Monitoring of the glacier is conducted by Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Science. The minimum observation times at those stakes is between 20 and 30 minutes. Total error, taking into account GNSS receiver, stake tilt, and human factor is estimated at 20 cm.

Dataset contains location of glacial shafts (moulins) on two polythermal glaciers: Werenskioldbreen and Hansbreen. Fieldwork has been done with GPS device at the end of ablation season in 2015.

Changes in position of glacier front are obtained from a Riegl FG21-LR laser distance ranger (the temporal resolution of 10 minutes) taken during September 2009 – February 2013.

Glacier velocities are derived from the displacements of four stakes (Z, R, T, U) installed close to the front of three glaciers in Hornsund. Measurements of stakes position were conducted in 2013-2015, with precise dGPS receiver (Leica 1230, accuracy ±5cm) and single-frequency GPS receiver (Garmin, accuracy ±5m).
