Spice - IoT telemetric sensor for snowpack depth measurement.
The Spice sensor is a sonar-based sensor used for measuring the depth of the snowpack and monitoring its evolution during the winter season. The instrument performs temperature compensation so as to increase the accuracy of the measurement.

Dataset of annual mass balances of Svenbreen, a small valley glacier in Central Spitsbergen, 2010/2011 - 2017/2018

To date (31st Jan 2020), the data have not been published in an article in a peer-reviewed journal, which is planned for 2021 or 2022, following the completion of ten years of measurements. It is possible that the exact values might differ slightly between this dataset and the planned paper due to differences in methodology, eg. updated glacier hypsometries. If this dataset is of your interest, please check Jakub Malecki's publication record for the most up-to-date data..

Annual mass balance of Svenbreen has been measured with a glaciological method since 2010/2011, typically between 1st and 15th day of September every year. Ablation stake network comprises 12-16 stakes distributed along the glacier tongue and in two (out of three) high-elevation sections, i.e. in the cirque and along an ice patch leading towards neighbouring glacier Hoelbreen.
