The Svalbard archipelago, located at the Arctic sea-ice edge between 74 and 81◦ N, is ∼ 60 % covered by glaciers. The region experiences rapid variations in atmo-spheric flow during the snow season (from late September to May) and can be affected by air advected from both lower and higher latitudes,...
