Locations used in surface mass balance observations. === Original Data Source === Greenland surface mass-balance observations from the ice-sheet ablation area and local glaciers These are historical surface mass balance measurement locations from Greenland Ice Sheet ablation area and surrounding local glaciers. There are approximately 3000 unique measurements from 46 sites. The earliest measurements are from 1892. Each measurement is accompanied with position and date information, as well as quality and source flags. Users can look to the citation URL for additional data. Citation: Machgruth, H. et al (2016).
