Abstract

This dataset contains point measurement of snow-air transition temperatures at 2 cm intervals on a 5 m thermistor chain installed spanning the snow-air transition at Summit Station, Greenland. Measurements were made using a Snow Ice Mass Balance Apparatus (SIMBA) with a bespoke 5 m chain.

These data were collected as part of the joint Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) and US National Science Foundation (NSF) -funded Integrated Characterisation of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric state, and Precipitation at Summit - Aerosol Cloud Experiment (ICECAPS-ACE) project.

These data were continued through the 3 year extension to the ICECAPS-ACE project called ICECAPS-MELT.
