Snow depth, snow water equivalent, ice thickness in Fuglebekken and Revdalen catchments

Snow depth, snow water equivalent and basal ice thickness measurements were taken during the SIOS SnowPilot campaign in Spring 2022. Snowpits were dug on GPR profile crossings in the Fuglebekken and Revdalen catchments in the Hornsund fiord, Spitsbergen catchment. Snow density was measured with an IG PAS snow tube, and snow depth and basal ice (ice forming on the ground surface) thickness were measured with an avalanche probe.
