Shallow snow cores for snowpack bulk density - Spitsbergen
Dataset contains snowpack density derived from shallow snow cores. Fieldwork has been done during peak of accumulation on several glaciers in the region of Hornsund, Svalbard:
Amundsenisen (2013)
Werenskioldbreen (2013, 2015)
Nannbreen (2013)
Flatbreen (2013, 2018)
Storbreen (2013, 2018)
Results might be valuable i.a. for mass-balance estimations or GPR survey validation.
