Time-lapse video of tracer percolation experiment in Svalbard seasonal snowpack, Ny-Alesund March 2023
This dataset contains a timelapse video of a tracer percolation experiment in the seasonal snowpack near Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, on 31st March 2023. The tracer percolation experiment was carried out by applying a coloured water tracer over a defined area and filmed using a camera and tripod. The video was recorded as part of an experimental field study ("Wet Finderprints") by Dorothea Moser to visualise the progression and retardation of meltwater liquid in near-surface snow.
The project was supported by an Arctic Field Grant through the Norwegian Research Council - Project No. 342165, RiS ID 12132. Dorothea Elisabeth Moser was supported by BAS Cambridge and the NERC C-CLEAR Doctoral Training Programme (grant no. NE/S007164/1).
