Hintereisferner energy balance data set

This resource provides meteorological and glaciological data from two automatic weather stations operated at Hintereisferner (HEF) covering a full annual glaciological cycle i.e., the period 01 October 2003 until 24 October 2004. The data support investigation of the year-round local meteorological conditions and surface exchange processes in the ablation and accumulation area of the glacier. Development of the data set was thus also designed to serve the forcing and and validation of numerical models simulating the mass and energy budget of snow and ice.
