Relative humidity 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.

Thermal structure of selected S Spitsbergen glaciers was derived from ground based radio-echo sounding (RES). The division between cold and temperate ice layers is based on indirect interpretation of GPR (ground penetrating radar) image. Cold ice layer is virtually “transparent” for radio waves, while temperate ice layer is characterised by numerous diffractions on water inclusions. The database contains results from 479.7 km of RES profiles acquired in 2007-2014 on 12 glaciers in Wedel Jarlsberg Land and Torell Land (S Spitsbergen) including: Amundsenisen, Austre Torellbreen, Vestre Torellbreen, Hansbreen, Storbreen, Hornbreen, Hambergbreen, Recherchebreen, Scottbreen, Renardbreen, Werenskioldbreen and Ariebreen. Basic characteristics of investigated glaciers and its thermal structure is provided in table 1 (supplementary information). The surveys used GPR antennas in range 25-200 MHz, selected according to expected ice depth. Thanks to that on 87% of the profiles ice/bed interface has been identified. The radar system was pulled behind the snowmobile moving with velocity c. 20 km h-1. Applying trace interval 0.2-1.0 s, trace-to-trace distance was in range 1-5m. Trace positions were acquired by GNSS receivers working in navigation or differential mode with respective accuracy 3.0 m and 0.1m. RES data were processed applying standard filtering procedure (DC-offset, time-zero adjustment, 2-D filter, amplitude correction and bandpass filtering). Time-to-depth conversion used average radio wave velocity (RWV) for glacier ice 16.4 cm ns-1, 16.7 and 16.1 for cold and temperate ice respectively, based on CMP survey. More precise description of data collection, processing and quality is provided by Grabiec (2017). In S Spitsbergen polythermal glaciers are predominant. 57.8% of surveyed profiles consist of both: temperate and cold ice layers; 22.7% profiles is entirely temperate while 6.6% contains cold ice only (remaining profiles have undefined thermal structure). Studied glaciers represent broad spectrum of polythermal structure with cold-to-temperate ice ratio from 99:1% (Ariebreen) to 2:98% (accumulation zone of Vestre Torellbreen).

Subglacial topography was derived from radio-echo sounding (RES) survey conducted in spring 2008 by the University of Silesia research team (M. Grabiec and J. Jania) in cooperation with the Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Sciences (D. Puczko) and the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University (G.Gajek). The profiles were acquired by the radar system equipped with 25 MHz unshielded antenna pulled behind snowmobile. Traces were recorded every 0.5 s, that translates into 1.5-2.0 trace-to-trace distance depending on the vehicle’s velocity. Traces were positioned by GNSS receiver working in differential mode with 3D accuracy ± 1m. In total over 100 km of RES profiles were acquired on Hansbreen, 66 km on Werenskioldbreen and 43 km on Renardbreen. RES data were processed using standard procedure including: DC-offset, time-zero adjustment, 2-D filter, amplitude correction, bandpass filtering and migration. Time-to-depth conversion applied average radio-wave velocity in glacier ice 16.4 cm ns-1 calculated based on CMP analysis performed on Hansbreen in the same season as the GPR profiling. The ice/bed interface was picked up semi-automatically with RMSE 5.3 ns (0.43 m) (Grabiec, 2017). Then the bedrock elevation data were interpolated over studied glaciers taking into account elevation of nonglaciated surroundings (Grabiec 2017) and bathymetry at the front of tidewater Hansbreen (Grabiec et al. 2012). Finally produced 100 m resolution DEMs are in UTM 33X WGS84 reference system. DEM of 300 m resolution is freely available. For 100 m resolution DEM please contact: mariusz.grabiec@us.edu.pl.
