In situ glaciological monitoring of A. P. Olsen Ice Cap in NE Greenland has been ongoing since 2008. The monitoring effort is part of the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) programme at Zackenberg research station. The monitoring includes: Three automatic weather and ablation stations along a transect, manual stake observations upon every visit in April, ground based radar profiles of last year snow accumulation and geodetic mass balance from satellite based observations. Here we present an overview of all glaciological monitoring data, and use the dataset to estimate the mass balance of A. P. Olsen over the past 13 years.
