Abramov glacier data base

<p><strong>Abramov glacier data base</strong></p> <p>Data base compiled by F. Pertziger. Parts of this dataset were published in the Abramov Glacier Data Reference Book (Pertziger, 1996). Please refer to the reference book and to Kronenberg et al. (2021,2022) and Kronenberg (2022) for more details about the data and their acquisition.</p> <p>The mdb file contains monthly mass balance measurements from 165 stake and nine snow pit locations, daily runoff measurements and meteorological observations. Please note, that the reported coordinates are given in a local coordinate system. Coordinates were transferred to WGS84 / UTM Zone 42N as described in Kronenberg et al. (2021) and are available in a separate file.</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>Kronenberg Marlene.
