Proglacial discharge measurements, Kiattuut Sermiat glacier, south Greenland (near Narsarsuaq)

Measurements of water discharge during the 2013 the melt season in the proglacial river draining from the proglacial lake of Kiattuut Sermiat, a land-terminating glacier in the south of the Greenland Ice Sheet (61.2°N, 45.3°W). The measurements were made in a stable bedrock section approximately 1 km downstream from the proglacial lake terminus. Data loggers recorded measurements every 15 minutes from April to September. Water depth (stage) was converted to discharge (Q) using season-specific ratings curves derived from 51 repeat dye-dilution injections undertaken across the stage values. This research is part of the UK Natural Environment Research Council, NERC-funded DELVE project (NERC grant NE/I008845/1). Additional funding was provided by Cabot Institute (University of Bristol).
