Abramov glacier firn data

Historical and recent firn data for Abramov glacier, Pamir Alay compiled and measured in the context of the PhD Thesis 'Changing glacier firn in Central Asia and its impact on glacier mass balance' by Marlene Kronenberg (2022). This repository contains firn data measured in 2018 consisting of GPR measurements (zip folder), subsurface temperature measurements (zip folder) and firn core data from three drill sites as well as historical firn profile data digitized from Kislov (1982) and Suslov and Krenke (1980). Refer to abra_firn_cores_overview.xlsx for an overview of the core data. The data are described in Kronenberg et al. (2021) and Kronenberg (2022). Please refer to these studies when using the data.
