The dataset consists of surface mass balance (SMB) derived from 23 stake-height difference measurements made between the summit of Djupranen Ice Rise and Leningradkollen Ice Rise across the Nivlisen Ice Shelf, Dronning Maud Land, between the two field measurements of year 2016/17 and 2017/18. If you use the dataset in presentations and publications please also refer to the peer-reviewed paper (Pratap and others, 2021), where the data is described in more detail.
