This dataset comprises firn density and compaction rate measurements from USP50, a site 50km upstream of South Pole. (89.54 S, 137.04 E). Firn compaction rates were measured for two years (from January 2017 to December 2018) using string potentiometers to measure borehole shortening. Density measure...
