| Summary: | Data from an automatic weather station installed on the debris-covered Kennicott Glacier in theWrangell St. Elias National Park, Alaska, USA, spanning most of the 2019 ablation season (28 May - 22 August 2019). Brief description of the uploadeddatasets: KEN_2019_60.csv : Hourly aggregated measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation, incoming and outgoing longwave radiation andprecipitation KEN_2019_AWS_Metadata.pdf : Metedata file describing the station location, sensor setup and measurements KEN_2019_debris.csv : Debris properties assumed to be potentially applicable for this site (not measured but taken from literature) KEN_2019_VAL_debristemperature.csv : Hourly time series of temperature measurements at known depths within the debris cover close to the station location KEN_2019_VAL_subdebrismelt.csv : Monthly stake measurements of surface height change (sub-debris ice melt) close to the station location spanning the ablation season We recorded additional meteorological data at the weather station (e.g. vertical profiles of wind speed/direction, relative humidity and temperature; 3D ultrasonic anemometer) as well as subdebris melt, dGPS-surface changeand temperature profiles at additional transects for the same period. Please contact the authors in case of interest in any additional data. We greatly acknowledge logistical support from Michael Loso and the staff from the National Park Service, Copper Center, AK, USA.
