Dataset specification

• Title: GeoBasis Disko - Hydrology - RE-WaterDischarge_10min
• Description: Water discharge in the river Røde Elv (RE) is based on the logged water level data and a relation between measured discharge and water level (Q/h relation). The Q/h relation is made in close collaboration with Asiaq, Greenland Survey. The calculated discharge data are given in West Greenland Time (UTC-3). Data was calculated for every 10 minutes up to 2017. From 2017 and onwards the time step was 15 minutes (see also WaterDischarge_15min). Data cover the main runoff season. However, the start and the end of the annual time series refer to the time when the automatic sensors were deployed and removed from the water. For a better estimation of the break-up and freeze-in period, please contact the GeoBasisDisko data manager. More data about river water in Røde Elv are found under Hydrology (RiverWaterChemistry, SuspendedSediment, Multisensor). Hydrology:Hydrology GeoBasis Disko:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an active response to recommendations in international assessments such as ACIA and SWIPA; and is continuously being adapted based on AMAP and other international founded recommendations. Furthermore, the GeoBasis programme is directly involved in several international networks and research projects (e.g. the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) programme, the Nordic Centre of Excellence DEFROST, the Danish Centre of Excellence CENPERM, the EU-projects PAGE21 and INTERACT, and the Arctic Research Centre at Aarhus University). The GeoBasis programme is divided into a number of sub-groups, including:
