Figure 1

The Kongsfjord region on Svalbard (upper left side), including both measurement sites Ny-Ålesund and Kongsvegen glacier (marked with arrows). The overview picture is taken from [5]. The upper right picture [6] shows the Kongsvegen measurement site. Beneath a topographical map of the Kongsfjord region (http://www.toposvalbard.npolar.no/) is shown. The arrows in the map mark the dominant wind directions in Ny-Ålesund, most often are 1 and 2 (eastern directions). 3 marks the direction downward the Broggerbreen glacier, 4 the free ocean, and the yellow dot the eddy covariance system on the Kongsvegen glacier.
