Description:
Dataset containing surface snow measurements of snow specific surface area (SSA), snow density and snow accumulation. Surface samples were taken from the surface 2.5cm of snow. SSA measurements were determined using an Ice Cube measuring device (Zuanon, 2013). Snow density was measured from the SSA samples with a fixed volume. Snow accumulation describes the change in surface height at each sample site. All measured parameters have 10 daily samples taken at 10m intervals over a 90m transect. Sampling was carried out daily between May and August of 2016-2019, at approximately 24hr time intervals. All measurements were taken at the East Greenland Ice Core Project site (EastGRIP) situated in the accumulation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
