This bibliography collects long-term time series of glaciological observables at Neumayer stations and its hinterland. It consists of several observational variables: In the sub-project "NM surface mass balance", surface accumulation and surface layer density were regularly observed at the two stake farms Pegelfeld Süd and Pegelfeld Spuso as part of the airchemistry observatory or the Neumayer station since 1990. As part of the conventional density observations, the sub-project "GNSS–RR (Global Navigation Satellite System – Reflecto/Refractometry)" has established a methodology to derive automated and continuous specific surface mass balance time series for fast moving parts of ice sheets and shelves (>10m/a). It is operated as part of the Neumayer meteorological observatory. The sub-project "MIMO-EIS (Monitoring melt where Ice Meets Ocean – Continuous observation of ice-shelf basal melt on Ekström Ice Shelf, Antarctica)" monitors the temporal variation of the basal melt in the center of the Ekströmisen on sub-daily times scales. In addition, it investigates spatial variations of annually averaged basal melt rates. The sub-project "Kottaspegel" investigates the spatio-temporal variation of the snow accumulation along the traverse route between Neumayer stations and Kottas camp and further to Kohnen station. Snow accumulation is determined from reading of snow height at bamboo stakes in annual to bi-annual intervals, which is relevant to provide ground-truth measurement for satellite and regional climate modelling approaches.
