Abstract:
Snow depth data series contain records obtained by high-frequency GPR on selected glaciers of Hornsund area (S Svalbard) since 2008. Currently, the largest collection regards Hansbreen. Data for other glaciers are successively appended. The GPR survey on Hansbreen is regularly carried out approximately along the same tracks. Due to dynamically changing glacier surface topography influencing different survey abilities some parts of profiles are modified in consecutive seasons. The total distance of Hansbreen profiles are: 63.9 km (2008), 117,5 km (2011), 105,1 km (2013), 103,9 km (2014), 98,5 km (2015), 91,1 km (2016), 101,0 km (2017) and 108,4 km (2018).
