ICECAPS-MELT: Permittivity-based snow density from two 1-m snow profiles in SW Greenland (May 2024)
Abstract
Snow density was measured using two different permittivity-based devices (FPGA Company SnowPro-40 and SnowPro-17 sensors; km m-3) from two 1-m deep snow profiles from southwest Greenland (Camp Raven, 66.48 N, 46.30 W, 2331 m asl) during Spring 2024. The snow profile measurements were made adjacent to an autonomous atmospheric and glaciological platform (the SLEIGH) as part of the ICECAPS-MELT experiment. Profile 1 was measured on 15 May 2024, 2-3 meters from the eventual SLEIGH installation. Profile 2 was measured on 18 May 2024, 20 m from the eventual SLEIGH installation.

| Data lineage: |
The permittivity sensor was inserted vertically into a slot the snow pit wall, then moved vertically downwards for each subsequent measurement. These sensors were calibrated by the manufacturer and delivered with appropriate calibration coefficients. Calibrations were applied after data were collected in the field. |
| Data Quality: |
All measurements were made in alignment with FPGA SnowPro User Manual, v2. Measurements were referenced against coincident manual snow density measurements.
