A new station for ground temperature measurements at Christianshåb, central West Greenland

Abstract

In July a further station for ground temperature measurements was established at Christianshåb. This station is the eighth erected in West Greenland as part of the Danish contribution to the UNESCO International Hydrological Decade programme (IHD). The first station was set up at Holsteinsborg in 1964, followed by a second there in 1967, two in Søndre Strømfjord in 1967, and single stations at Jakobshavn 1968, Godhavn 1968 and Egedesminde 1970. Apart from one station in Søndre Strømfjord which was closed in the autumn of 1970, all are in operation.
