Snow density profiles at Kottaspegel traverse in 2022-2023

This is a collection of shallow snow density data sets from an overland traverse between Neumayer Station III and Kottas camp in January/February 2023. Sampling during the Kottas traverse was carried out by S. Arndt and M. Petri with assistance from members of the traverse personnel. Sampling device was a 1 m long and 9.21 cm diameter Kovacs ice corer Mark II. Density was determined as bulk density by dividing the net weight of the snow core by the volume of the snow core (determined from length of the snow core and diameter of the coring device).
