Description
Summary:ESTIMATION OF SUBSURFACE RUNOFF IN THE HORNSUND REGION (SW SPITSBERGEN)Abstract. Based on hydrogeological investigations carried out in the Hornsund region (SW Spitsbergen) the mean water runoff in amount of 3.346 m3/s was estimated. The measurements were carried out in the coastal zone of Greenland Sea with an area of 49.95 km2, limited by Werenskiold and Hans glaciers, during summer seasons of 2005–2007. River and subsurface parts of total runoff amounts to respectively 3.008 m3/s and 0.338 m3/s. Runoff components are formed mainly by water from melting glaciers and permafrost, and secondary from rainwater.
