Abstract
In this letter, we present surface mass-balance measurements
carried out by members of the Institute for Marine
and Atmospheric Research of Utrecht University (IMAU)
along the Kangerlussuaq (Sondre Stromfjord, in Danish)
transect (K-transect), located on the western part of the
Greenland ice sheet along 67° N. At present, these measurements
comprise 10 years (1990-2000), which makes them
longer than any other published time series of mass-balance
measurements in Greenland.
