Annual maximum landfast sea-ice thickness at Hopen 1965-2008, version 1.0

The maximum observed fast-ice thickness per season at Hopen (part of the Svalbard) during the period 1965/66 - 2007/08. The data file has two columns: a) the year the data connects to, and b) the thickness numbers in meters. If an observation is missing, data is set to 999. Most ice thickness data w...

Description
Summary:The maximum observed fast-ice thickness per season at Hopen (part of the Svalbard) during the period 1965/66 - 2007/08. The data file has two columns: a) the year the data connects to, and b) the thickness numbers in meters. If an observation is missing, data is set to 999. Most ice thickness data were collected from drill holes in shore-fast sea ice within 150 m of shore. The accuracy for an ice thickness reading is 0.01 m (reading interval). Drill sites are not at the identical spot for each measurement throughout a season, resulting in apparent thickness changes due to local variability in ice thickness.
