Ice Mass Balance [Perovich, D., T. Grenfell, B. Light, J. Richter-Menge, T.
Tucker, H. Eicken]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.823

Summary
The temporal evolution of the mass balance of different ice categories was
monitored at 10 sites that were carefully selected to represent the widest
possible range of ice types and conditions. These sites typically consisted of
a thermistor string and several thickness gauges. For additional
documentation, start with the mass.htm file contained in the zip file
html-metadata.zip.
