Water Stage and Discharge of a Supraglacial Stream in Southwest Greenland (67.15N, 50.00W) Each Minute from July 13, 2019 to August 10, 2019
A small supraglacial stream in Southwest Greenland was observed for a 29-day period during the melt season of 2019. A Solinst Levellogger pressure transducer continuously measured stage height every minute throughout the observation period. The logger was placed in a RACO-2 metal project box filled...
