在过去的十年中,格陵兰地质调查局(GGU)测量了冰川质量平衡与基本气候要素。1978-1983年在Johan Dahl地格陵兰冰盖边缘附近、1980-1986年在Qamanârssup sermia以及自1982年以来在Tasersiaq设立了实地观测站。雪的积累和冰消融的测量是在许多桩钻到冰。消融测量是每天在最接近车站的木桩上进行的,而更远的木桩在赛季中只测量了几次。气候测量包括气温、降水、风、湿度、蒸发、日照时间和短波辐射。外地站的运作费用很高,但今后有可能通过依靠自动仪器和强调“指数”测量而改用较便宜的外地方案。
During the past ten years, the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) has measured glacier mass-balance parallel with basic climate elements. Field stations were operated near the margin of the Greenland ice sheet in Johan Dahl Land 1978–1983, at Qamanârssup sermia 1980–1986 and at Tasersiaq since 1982. Measurements of snow accumulation and ice ablation are made at many stakes drilled into the ice. Ablation measurements are made daily at the stakes closest to the stations while more distant stakes are only measured a few times during the season. The climate measurements include air temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, evaporation, sunshine duration and shortwave radiation. The field stations are expensive to operate but it will be possible to change over to cheaper field programmes in the future by relying on automatic instruments and by stressing “index” measurements.
