Automatic Weather Station Data from the Vestfonna Ice Cap
type: Dataset
description: During IPY4-Kinnvika an Automatic Weather Station (AWS) was installed on the western margin of the Vestfonna Ice Cap, Svalbard by a group from the Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University, Sweden. The record includes data from 1 May 2007 – 30 April 2009 on air temperature, relative humidity, 4-component radiation, wind speed, wind direction and inclination (tilt) of the radiation instrument arm. Data are hourly means (2-hourly August 2007-April 2008, due to limited storage capacity) of readings every minute. Minor gaps exist in the record. Temperature sensors are unventilated.

GLACIERS
type: DefinedTerm
description: A mass of land ice, formed by the further recrystallization of firn, flowingcontinuously from higher to lower elevations.

ICE SHEETS
type: DefinedTerm
description: A continuous sheet of land ice that covers a very large area and moves outward\nin many directions. \nThis type of ice mass is so thick as to mask the land surface contours, in\ncontrast to the smaller and thinner highland ice. The continental glacier of\nGreenland is sometimes called the Inland Ice. This term is often used to\ndescribe the great ice masses that characterized the ice ages.
