Weekly Snow Stake Array Measurements, Summit Station, Greenland, Version 1 is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set provides weekly snow stake height measurements at Summit Station, Greenland, near the ice divide. The array comprises 121 snow stakes and aids in understanding snowfall processes and contextualizes snow accumulation, which is a major component of the region’s surface mass balance. The weekly collection of this data began in August 2003. As a long-term climate record, this data set provides valuable ground validation for ICESat-2 and other satellite and airborne missions.
