Mass balance data, GPS stake measurements Troll Station - Site M, EPICA traverse 2000-2001

The dataset contains stake positions and exposed stake heights along the EPICA Traverse route from Troll Station to "Site M" at 75 deg. S, 15 deg. E. During the EPICA traverse in 1996-1997 along the same route in 1996-1997 a series of stakes were set out along the traverse line and precise...

Description
Summary:The dataset contains stake positions and exposed stake heights along the EPICA Traverse route from Troll Station to "Site M" at 75 deg. S, 15 deg. E. During the EPICA traverse in 1996-1997 along the same route in 1996-1997 a series of stakes were set out along the traverse line and precisely positioned by GPS. The stakes were re-measured during the next EPICA traverse four years later, during the 2000-2001 season. The stakes were positioned at 60 km intervals up to Site M, the drill site for a 150 metre ice core. "Strain nets" and "coffee cans" were included at two, respectively three sites. Most of the stakes were re-measured a third time during the IPY Traverse in 2007-2008.
