Spring snow cover. Yearly estimated of percentage of snow cover on 10 June in thirteen sections covering the monitoring area at Zackenberg (i.e. valley lowland and Aucella slopes). Estimated using either automatic cameras (early years) and satellite imagery (recent years). Snow properties:Snow properties GeoBasis Zackenberg:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and research projects (e.g. the ...
