Glaciological and climatological investigations at Qamanârssûp sermia, West Greenland

Abstract

As part of the GGU programme of investigations in connection with hydropower in West Greenland, glaciological and dimatological measurements were continued at Qamanârssâp sermia (inventory number 1CH21002) in 1982. The station was first established in late summer 1979 so that records for three complete summers 1980-1982 are now available. Brief reports on the work have been given by Olesen (1981) and Olesen & Braithwaite (1982) while a more detailed field report and data summary for 1979-1981 is given by Braithwaite & Olesen (1982). A similar report for 1982 is now in preparation. The sketch map in figure 44 shows the lower glacier together with locations of stakes and survey points. It should be noted that the three highest stakes, numbered 013, 015 and 016, are located off the map to the north-east of Stake 012.
