Automatic weather station on Etonbreen/ Austfonna glacier

Abstract

Automatic weather station (AWS) on Etonbreen glacier, an outlet from the Austfonna ice cap in North-East Svalbard. The AWS is located at approx 360 m a.s.l. near the long term equilibrium line altitude. The AWS records variables needed for an energy balance assessment. The AWS records Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, Wind Direction and Speed, Air Pressure, Snow Height, Longwave and Shortwave radiations. Data are transferred by Iridium. The extended AWS is the same type of station with heated and ventilated radiation in addition.
