| Summary: | On the four N-ICE2015 floes we installed in total seven hot-wire fields and seven snow-stake fields following the routine outlined in Perovich [2003]. A rectangular hot-wire field with a side length of approximately 10 m was designed in a way that in each corner a wire was installed close to an ablation stake, and in the middle of the hot-wire field nine snow-stakes with even spacing were set up. Snow depth and ice thickness changes were recorded on a regular basis, and the readings were averaged in space to cover small scale spatial variability. For the hot wire readings see https://data.npolar.no/dataset/263a317f-5a65-4776-8f53-ef2c2857fc33
