[CRYOLIST] Reminder for 2019 SUMup Call for Field Observations

Dear Colleagues,

 

The SUMup database containing over 2,000,000 community observations of snow/firn density on ice sheets, snow accumulation on ice sheets, and snow depth on sea ice is available at the Arctic Data Center.  This year we plan to add a 10 meter ice core temperature dataset.  

 

We continue to expand this database annually through contributions of field observations from the community.  If you would like to submit any measurements of snow/firn density, annual snow accumulation, 10m ice core temperatures, or snow depth on sea ice for the SUMup August 2019 release, please contact or Lynn Montgomery (lynn.montgomery@colorado.edu)  or Lora Koenig (lora.koenig@colorado.edu) by July 31, 2019 to contribute or for more information.

 

The 2018 SUMup release is available at:
https://arcticdata.io/catalog/#view/doi:10.18739/A2JH3D23R -Snow/firn Density
https://arcticdata.io/catalog/#view/doi:10.18739/A2DR2P790 - Snow Accumulation on land ice
https://arcticdata.io/catalog/#view/doi:10.18739/A2WS8HK6X - Snow Depth on sea ice
   

 

Thank you,

 

Lynn Montgomery and Lora Koenig
