The Baltimore mass balance site was a first-year ice site with adjacent multiyear ice and a transition rubble zone. Ice at this site started growing in late August 1997 and was about 40 cm thick in mid-October 1997. This area was heavily ponded in the summer of 1998, with many of the ponds melting all the way through to the ocean. The schematic shows the number and initial ice thickness in October 1997 for each of the gauges. Click on the gauges to see results. In addition to the thickness gauges, there was a thermistor string.
