| Summary: | To document the properties of the snowpack six snowpits are made in Kobbefjord each year in late winter (app. April). The logging includes density measurements taken with a rip cutter and snow temperature measurements every 10 cm (Snow properties - DensityTemperature). Description of snow grain size, grain shape and hardness throughout the profile (Snow properties - Stratigraphy). The snow survey in Kobbefjord has been carried out annually in late winter since 2008. Please contact the ClimateBasis Nuuk manager for detailed snow survey reports. Snow properties:Snow properties ClimateBasis Nuuk:The ClimateBasis programme monitors climate and hydrology in Zackenberg, Kobbefjord and Disko (Qeqertarsuaq) and is run by Asiaq - Greenland Survey. The collected data build base-line information on climate variability and trends for all the other sub-programmes within GEM and serve as a trustworthy foundation for adaptation strategies for the Greenlandic society. The stations are embedded in Asiaq’s extensive climate ... |
