Abstract:
Eddy-covariance observations taken over rough ice and snow surfaces on the Greenland Ice Sheet and on the Vatnajökull ice cap in Iceland between 1996 and 2021.
This data contains corrected 30-min averages, variances and covariances of wind components and temperature, as well as estimated near-surface turbulent heat fluxes, roughness lengths, and other meteorological parameters measured by an adjacent automatic weather station.
See README.txt for more detailed information.
