Dear colleagues
We would like to draw your attention to the database of 'Greenland
surface mass balance observations from the ice-sheet ablation area and
local glaciers'. The database contains 3000 point measurements of
surface mass balance spanning the 123 years from 1892 to 2015. The data
have been compiled in the framework of the Programme for Monitoring of
the Greenland Ice Sheet PROMICE and are freely accessible at
http://www.promice.dk/MassebalancedataDownload.html. The data
compilation is described in a recent paper at Journal of Glaciology
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/jog.2016.75).
We are grateful to all the individuals and institutions who provided
data and made the compilation possible. We hope the database will prove
valuable in, e.g., evaluation of model output. Feedback on data quality,
database structure or missing data is appreciated.
