Autosampler ISCO System 6712 - controlled every few days.
OnSet Hobo CT Loggers - controlled once per month.
Metrohm IC - every few days.
Water samples are collected with the use of an automatic sampler once per day. Their pH, conductivity and chemical composition (major ions) are analysed at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund chemical laboratory. Besides, water temperature and conductivity are measured automatically in situ in the river channels. CT loggers - read monthly / data recording in the 10 minutes timestep. The monitoring programme is running only in the ablation season.
