Hansbreen Snowpit Database: snowpit templates

A snowpit analysis template developed during Hansbreen Snowpit Database preparation.

Relying on the enclosed files will enable the efficient use of the Interactive Snow Profile Visualizer niViz software (https://niviz.org) and achieve interoperable final products.
ZIP catalogue contains the following filenames extensions:
A) PDF – used to print table template on a waterproof paper (A4 or A5 format) and provide collecting the complete range of data during fieldwork;
B) XLS – used for data archiving. Contained formulas automatically calculate the thickness and water equivalent of subsequent snow layers.

All information regarding the snow data harmonization on Hansbreen will be available in the journal article:
