Meteorological data from two on-ice weather stations at 780 and 950 m asl elevations in the ablation area of Sermeq Avannarleq, West Greenland from 2017-2018.
We installed two weather stations during the 2017 melt season to constrain melt rates at two different elevations in the ablation area of Sermeq Avannarleq, on the western Greenland Ice Sheet. LOWC Weather station was installed at our Low Camp field site where the elevation is approximately 780 mete...
